Upgraded traffic signals for Liverpool City Region to reduce emissions and save money
More than 750 traffic signals across Liverpool City Region will be upgraded in a new £8.3m project which will save money and reduce energy usage across the local road network.
Agreed by Mayor Rotheram and the Combined Authority, the programme of works will see existing halogen traffic signals upgraded to LED technology which is more reliable and cost-effective.
Mobility tech company Yunex Traffic – who are also installing pollution sensors across the city region – have been appointed to undertake the project following a competitive tendering process.
The low maintenance, long-life, energy-efficient LED signals will provide improved visibility in all weather and lighting conditions.
Across the city region, the programme will see the upgrading of over 9,000 signal aspects – including 2,400 pedestrian crossing wait indicators.
