So the driver at the end never did anything wrong. The lights you stopped at are the exit lights of the junction you crossed. They were just red for the people using Crieff Road (the road you drove up). However the lights for the traffic waiting on the road on the right of the junction received a green light to progress onto the road you were driving on. You can see the nose of the car waiting on the right, very briefly, at 11.22. As you passed the first set of traffic lights before they turned red, you were allowed to continue through the second as technically you were stopped in a junction which was blocking the cars coming from Tulloch Terrace (who now received a green light) Hope that explains things!
Sorry, But that is a Pedestrian crossing,, The light for pedestrians can clearly be seen just before I stopped, Also the studs in the roadway indicate that as does the pinkish tell-tale surface for the visibly impaired. A red light is a red light and no-way should that car have overtaken.
@@gomadgo13 As stated in the highway code, pedestrian crossings are marked with white zig zag lines, which the one in question does NOT have as it isn't a pedestrian crossing. It's lights controlling a junction. While it does let pedestrians cross if they press the button, it is not a stand alone crossing. So If you look at all the puffin/pelican crossings in your video you will see on the lead up to them, on each side of the road are zig zag markings and a solid white stop line on both sides of the road for the drivers to stop at when the light turns red. They are the proper dedicated pedestrian crossings. You can see these at 8 seconds, 1:00, 1:36, 1:54, 2:16, 3:27, 4:18, Zebra crossings at 5:33, 6:30, 8:14, 8:43, 8:57, 9:11, 10:01. The solid white line is also a clue, if you look up road markings in the highway code, the very first one is a solid white line, which is "Stop line at signals or police control". Leading up to the set of traffic lights (the green ones at 11:22) there was a solid white line and the advanced stop line for bicyces. As you progressed through the junction, you will notice there was no solid white line at the exit set of traffic lights as you are not meant to stop there. If this was a pedestrian crossing, you would absolutely see a solid white line just before the lights, as well as zig zag road markings. I understand that it has the markings for visually impaired, and the studs on the roadway, but so does every other junction as you drove through the city centre. Especially the one at 3:13 where the second set of lights changed to red after you passed the first set. Notice the studs on the road, the visually impaired path and the button for pedestrians to press. Also, if you pause at 11:26, you will see the little yellow box on the pole of the traffic lights that pedestrians press and then wait to cross. You will see the box is not illuminated with the large "WAIT" that appears when pressed. Nor are there any pedestrians at the crossing. I drive passed this junction multiple times a day and understand fully how they work, and they lights are the exit lights of the junction for vehicles travelling up Crieff Road. As the light was for vehicles coming up Crieff Road, it didn't apply to the vehicles coming from Tulloch Terrace so the car had every right to pass you as they had just been given a green light. I hope this shines some light on the situation.
Nice video mate apart from the total plum in the citroen lol eejit!

Well that has to be the most unsafe setup, with the lights 20m beyond the junction.
