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.

    Road markings are an essential component of a modern infrastructure and an essential contributor to driver comfort and road safety. The COST 331 study, which ran from 1996 to 1999, mainly focused on dry night conditions and indicated that the increased luminance of road markings, results in a better delineation of the road and offers more reaction time for drivers. On average a slight increase in speed was noted, but the increased visibility was mainly converted into more reaction time. IMPROVER, which ran

    Transitioning to zero-carbon transport globally is essential to keep climate change in check. Yet seven years after the Paris Climate Agreement, transport emissions are still rising. In a new op-ed, Nina Elter argues that a radical shift in our approach to transportation sustainability is required. Every year, governments around the world invest more than US$700 billion in road infrastructure. While these investments yield significant economic and social returns, transport continues to generate large costs on societies, in the form of harmful emissions, traffic injuries and lost time due to congestion.
