Traffic lights are in place to control the traffic and give pedestrians a better opportunity to safely cross the road.
Reporting a problem or fault with traffic lights
The repair and maintenance of traffic lights is carried out by Transport for London (TfL) on our behalf.
Placing portable traffic lights on the road
Portable traffic signals used to control junctions (i.e. more than simple shuttle working) or heavy plant crossings require that the highway authority issue specific site approval. All signage should conform to The Traffic Signs and Regulations and General Directions 2002 and /or the safety at street works and road works code of practice.
