Autumn/Winter 2021 39 SRL estimates that there are more than 20,000 portable and temporary tra c signals in use at more than 5,000 roadwork sites across the country, and as such, its solution is capable of saving commuters more than seven minutes a day, over two hours every month and more than a day a year, getting to and from work. Launched at the end of 2020, Multiphase ADS tra c light detection technology may be used in conjunction with SRL’s Eurolight Master temporary and portable tra c lights and is the only portable and temporary ADS solution to o er two, three and four-way control.
