Traffic Signals Policy

SBC are also extending coverage of UPS battery back up at key junctions, which enables batteries to operate the traffic signal junction in the event of a power supply loss for a pre-determined time and a notification is sent to the in-station informing the traffic engineers. This ensures relevant parties have more time to react and arrange temporary traffic management should this be required. Only the newer ELV systems can take advantage of the battery backed system.

As part of the 3 year maintenance programme additional UPS systems will be implemented at key junctions within the Borough.
