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.

The idea of every traffic light turning green as you approach it has long been a dream for many an urban driver – and none more so than those driving heavy goods vehicles (HGVs), which are slow and difficult to bring to a halt and then accelerate back to normal travel speed. But that dream has become a reality for some drivers in a small number of cities around Europe in the las
