136 Traffex 2011, which celebrates its 25th edition this year, started out as a small, one-day table-top exhibition back in the 1960s and it has been growing ever since.

 This year will see innovative traffic management and road safety products and services displayed from over 450 world-class suppliers, a comprehensive seminar session, and the event now incorporates large, dedicated sections devoted to parking and to street design.

    The world’s ageing population requires more attention to be paid to the needs of older, and sometimes not that old, drivers – particularly when it comes to lighting. For instance the minimum amount of light a person needs to see doubles every decade after they are 25, so a 75-year old may need 32 times the illumination level as somebody a third of their age.
