Lewis traffic lights causing delays

The Press and Journal is being kind to Stornoway here. When their first traffic light was installed the locals would approach slowly, expecting it to change suddenly. They'd then turn off their engines at a red light. When they noticed it had changed back to green they'd go to start up their cars, and if they were lucky they'd get one or two cars through before it changed back to red again.
And where The Press and Journal describe "the busy approach to Stornoway", obviously it is not London or Edinburgh busy. It's not even East Calder busy. They had to slow down the speed of the traffic lights until they got used to the concept because the lights had caused traffic jams where there were none before.
