Zebra Crossings

Of these signal junctions:

  • 27 incorporate a pedestrian crossing facility

Pedestrian Crossing

There are 68 "stand alone" pedestrian crossings, of which:

A new puffin or toucan crossing costs in the order of £25-35,000 to install.


Pedestrian Crossing or Signal Faults

Normally signal faults are automatically sent to the signals maintenance contractor, however if you do notice a problem for example, signals not working properly, or not operating as you would expect, please report it to us.
