Malfunctioning traffic light causing major delays

A malfunctioning traffic light is causing major congestion at the four-way stop on the corner of Koets- and Boncker Street.

On Boncker Street, there are cars from the military base to the traffic light, as the robot is only going green for a few seconds before turning back to red.
The robot at Koets Street, however, is functioning properly, allowing traffic to flow.

The robot is not allowing traffic to flow accordingly.

There is worry that the issue may not be resolved by 17:00, when people will be attempting to head home, and peak-hour traffic will make the issue far worse.

Residents are advised to use alternative routes until the issue is fixed.
