Traffic Signals Refurbishment Programme

This decision concerns the implementation of a refurbishment programme for traffic signal sites across West Sussex. The Traffic Signals Team has developed a system that uses periodic inspections of the traffic signals to capture and categorise equipment and sites that need urgent attention. The number of such locations has been steadily increasing due to the age of the equipment.

 

It is proposed that a programme of signal refurbishments is progressed, using the current traffic signals maintenance contract, to procure all the necessary elements of the work. Although it would be feasible to investigate the implementation of a full asset management plan the cost of this would be in excess of £2million. However the proposed Traffic Signals Refurbishment Programme will address the critical issues.

 

The Capital Programme 2018/19 – 2022/23 approved by Full Council in December 2017 included £1m for the Traffic Signals Refurbishment Programme as a pipeline scheme, funded by corporate borrowing. The funding is split £250k per annum over 4 years, commencing 2018/19.
