Strava Segment -Doh !

Silly Old Hector

Strava informed me I was xxth/yyth on a new segment created by someone else at the weekend. The segment goes across a couple of junctions with traffic lights (which I stopped at).

Is this normal or stupid behaviour to create a segment with traffic lights :?

There are loads of ridiculous segments. Traffic lights and busy junctions are quite common. You can flag them to Strava as dangerous if you want to. I think this results in the segment still existing but no league tables are shown.

One of the segments by me was across a major roundabout. Seemed a bit pointless.

strava segments across any lights or roundabouts, or give way are just asking for trouble and stupid

you can flag it as a dangerous segment if you feel strongly about it.

There's a big dual carriageway in Sheffield that goes from the town centre to the 'burbs.

It must have close to a million traffic lights on it and is one of the busiest roads in the city but someone has created a time trial segment for it.

Now THAT'S some serious red light jumping.
