Details

The Department for Transport commissioned this study to investigate options for traffic signals during periods of low demand that could:

• reduce unnecessary delays to traffic, hence minimising overall vehicle delays and emissions
• reduce the energy consumption of signal installations
• maintain or enhance levels of safety, especially for vulnerable road users
