With traffic signal equipment at more than 1,200 sites, 950 Safer Routes to School signs, as well as a network of ANPR cameras and other vehicle activated signs and rising bollards, the contract represents one of the largest of its kind placed with Siemens as the main contractor.


The principal objectives of the contract are to maintain a high level of equipment availability and to respond to, and rectify, any fault condition which may arise on the equipment promptly and within the time scales prescribed.

Siemens will also carry out routine maintenance inspections and lamp changes at the appropriate intervals to check they adhere to current standards. In addition, the aim is to provide an enhanced service to the stakeholders within the contract area, by a gradual but continuous improvement in the reliability of the equipment on street.
