707 Clearview Traffic has been recognised in the Best Green Companies Awards for its ecological approach and work towards helping local authorities meet their environmental targets.

The award, presented by the Sunday Times, sets out to identify and celebrate the achievements of the top 60 British businesses that are striving to improve environmental performance.

According to the group, the accolade is in recognition of the work undertaken by Clearview Traffic in improving both its own environmental standards and of the development of innovative products and services which can be used by local authorities in minimising their impact on the environment.

For example, its 2696 Astucia SolarLite road stud uses solar power to illuminate an integral LED light source, increasing night-time visibility to “ten times that offered by a traditional road studs and thus reduces accidents by around 70%,” while the 3937 Golden River brand within Clearview Traffic also makes optimal use of technology in order to reduce the environmental impact of traffic management work. Its TPole solar-powered traffic counter provides the 1441 UK Highways Agency and authorities with vital traffic information and combined with the development of GPRS data collection means that fewer engineer visits to sites are required,reducing carbon emissions.

Clearview Traffic is working a number of organisations to introduce a number of green initiatives throughout the business.

  • The Path to Climate-Neutral Road Construction
    October 1, 2023
    Machine manufacturers and construction companies around the globe are currently searching for ways to achieve the goal of climate-neutral construction. The challenge here is to successively reduce emissions of CO2 and other harmful gases (summarized to CO2 equivalents: CO2e) around the world to zero over the coming decades. In the road construction sector, this transformation is inextricably linked to the improvement and further development of production and working processes. In the future, machines and construction materials will also be assessed based on the climate-harmful emissions arising from their production and use. However, the focus should not be on individual machines, but on the entire process leading up to the finished product – a road. Ultimately, the decisive factor is the emissions generated per kilometer of newly built or rehabilitated road – the “CO2e per work done”.

    New initiatives could boost transport sustainability – David Crawford writes. New roles are opening up for urban traffic management systems in helping city authorities to meet increasingly stringent governmental and supra-governmental air quality standards. European local authorities are typically tasked with both traffic management and pollution monitoring within their areas, making them well placed to draw on the latter to mitigate the impacts of the former.
