Two new products from 565 Pike Signals are the XLMicro, a full four way battery powered traffic signal set which runs for up to a week when fully charged, and XLPed, a temporary modular pedestrian control solution. It is designed for use in fixed pedestrian crossing sites needing maintenance or repair, or where a crossing is needed within roadworks.

The system is radio linked and battery powered enabling up to 14 days continuous operation.
