Though the lights on the A3 at the infamous Hindhead crossing are a bit daft.
The north-south A3 has right turn filter lanes both ways to turn onto the A287. The northbound one is longer and has a filter light controlling it. There's a repeater light on the far side for that northbound traffic, so even when you've pulled forward on the main green (right filter not yet on), you can still see the light. However, southbound, the filter lane holds only 2-3 cars, and there is no filter light. Once you've pulled forward and into the filter lane (which exists only beyond the light), you can no longer see the light.
This makes it tricky to know when you can turn. Because of the amount of traffic, you normally have to wait till the light turns red for the oncoming traffic in order to make the turn. You can only tell this by observing the traffic slowing; then you've got a couple of seconds to move before the cross traffic on the A287 starts moving. The additional annoyance is that all the southbound traffic gets stopped on red to let the right-turning northbound traffic through, but there is nothing for the equivalent southbound right-turning traffic.
If my explanation of the sequence confuses you, then look at and in particular Figure 2 at the bottom. For each su-diagram, the A3 runs left-right, with north on the left and south on the right. Stage 2 is where you sit waiting to turn right (facing towards the right of the diagram, i.e. southbound) even though your light, which you've by now pbutted, is now red.
