SignPost Solutions (SPS) has launched the SPS 468 Chevron system to protect drivers in the event of a collision. It is designed with the intention of warning drivers of sharp bends and roundabouts, that they are themselves likely to cause accidents.


The post is manufactured from aluminium, making it lighter than steel and safer if hit by a vehicle. It is part of the signStr8 range and has a specially-designed flat edge to prevent the signs from rotating, which reduces the need for costly and potentially dangerous maintenance.
 
These posts are installed into a socket system which means if they are hit they can be replaced quickly without having to dig out and replace concrete foundations.

    Caldecott Tunnel’s new Fourth Bore is utilising a bespoke high-capacity monitoring and communications network from Moxa. The Caldecott Tunnel connects Contra Costa and Alameda counties in Northern California and traditionally it has suffered severe congestion - especially during peak hours. Opened in 1937 as a twin-bore arrangement, by 1964 the increase in traffic volumes led to a third bore being added. Shortly after the third bore was opened a tidal flow was introduced with the centre bore alternating in

A few very notable and honourable exceptions notwithstanding, it is these days becoming increasingly rare to find a public agency which develops its own traffic management systems. Indeed, most now rely on specialist manufacturers and suppliers to fulfil their needs. This has the h
