Traffic lights
Traffic lights are used to control the movement of traffic at junctions. They're also used to make sure pedestrians can cross roads safely.
We control and maintain over 90 sets of permanent traffic lights, including pelican crossings. The timings for each set of lights vary according to the traffic flow on the road and surrounding roads where they're located.
Faulty traffic lights
We use technology that tells us if there are any faults with traffic lights. This also monitors if the lights are keeping the flow of traffic moving effectively.
You only need to tell us about a fault if you feel it's a hazard to motorists or people.
Report an emergency fault
If you see faulty or vandalised traffic lights that you think are a serious hazard to traffic or people, you can report this to us by calling 01226 773555 (24 hours). We'll deal with these faults on a priority basis.
Temporary traffic lights at roadworks
Companies carrying out roadworks are responsible for any temporary traffic lights at the site.
To report a fault with temporary traffic lights, call the company carrying out the roadworks. Their phone number should be displayed on the traffic light or on an information board nearby.
