Thermo said:dont want to be piccy at all old chap but you did say that they could have officers change the lights until someone comes out!
Still its the right answer just a different route!
by 'replace' i meant have an officer at each side directing traffic! not change them for new lights!

Yes you can sue. Local Authority highways are responsible to see the roads in their area are free from potholes. If they hang out repairing the potholes tell them you will be getting your vehicle checked and any suspected suspension damage you'll be looking to them to pay for the replacement/s that get's em moving. A successful case won by a motorist . Drove into a pothole and damaged his front suspension.
JUST A LITTLE NONSENSE INFO
Road works unattended traffic lights: The gas bottles fuel the generator that tops up the batteries in the lights trailer. If the generator stops the lights should have at least 8hrs on the batteries. And it only takes one person to operate manually from the control panel. But in this case it seems the batteries were flat any way so nobody could operate them. A new unit would be required. Yeah! I know I'm babbling. I'm off.

result - sort of. Rotherham Council "streetpride" dept have been out today spraying white lines where they are going to repair (hopefully). The road needs resurfacing though, they cant keep patching it up forever. I told them none of the roads in Doncaster are this bad!Doncaster has a programme of resurfacing - every few years they spray new tar and gravel chippings onto certain roads - letting the cars flatten it down. They come back a week later and sweep up the excess gravel. It works. Keeps the road in tip-top condition. Why dont they do this everywhere?
I'd always wondered how those traffic light gennys worked - is there an internal combustion engine, run by the LPG / other gas? They make a funny noise - low chugging - doesn't sound like any engine i ever heard!

ive always thought the same. altho since there only powering a few lights they wont need a massive 60KVA genny...
i had a bad accident on a bicycle due to bad road ( pothole) it was 2 foot in diameter and 5 inches deep i came off the bike going downhill at 30 mph
road rash all over and spained both ancles
when i tried to claim of the highways authority i was told that they do 6 monthly checks on the roads and as there wasnt a problem when they last looked at this road they are not liable >>>
the hole was fixed 3 days after this ? what should i have done

There's a time limit from when they are made aware of a danger site like this to when they have to repair it (not sure but I think it's about a week). If you could prove that they knew about it a certain time before the accident then you would have a valid claim.
As it stands, I reckon you deserve what you got for going that fast on a pushbike anyway.
