129 Swarco Traffic has launched a range of highly reliable mini-signals for towns and cities looking to install street-level signals for bicycle lanes.

The first signals are already being installed in the UK on new Cycle Superhighway routes.

The signals use a bespoke LED technology with high light output, low energy consumption and virtually no maintenance.

Manufactured in high-strength polycarbonate, the signals are available in either a vertical or horizontal mounting.

The signal heads can be supplied as standard red-amber-green or with an additional regulatory sign and can be used with modern traffic signal controllers from a number of different manufacturers.

Traffic management and traveller information systems, and actual vehicles, are all emerging as areas for deployment. Meanwhile roads themselves are being viewed as new-style, fossil fuel-free ‘power stati
