Made from high-strength polycarbonate, the signals are suited to city centre applications and available in either a vertical or horizontal mounting. The signal heads can be supplied as standard Red-Amber-Green or with an additional regulatory sign and have already been installed for use with modern traffic signal controllers from a number of different manufacturers.
