Traffic control system update on Höhscheider street in Solingen
The town of Solingen is set to modernise its traffic light system at the intersection of Höhscheider Straße and Friedenstraße, aiming to improve traffic safety and flow. The renovation phase is expected to be completed by September, with work commencing on Monday, August 4.
During the renovation, brief traffic disruptions may occur at times. However, according to the town hall, traffic can run largely without disruption during the renovation, and a mobile traffic light system will be temporarily installed to ensure smooth traffic flow.
The old traffic light system, approximately 40 years old and using outdated technology, will be dismantled and replaced with new ones. The new system will feature modern LED technology and will include acoustic signals for the visually impaired, ensuring accessibility for all road users.
The induction loops at the intersection will be replaced during the upgrade, and the old traffic light masts will be removed and replaced with new ones. The new traffic light system will follow the programme of the previous system, with the mobile traffic light system operating temporarily until the new system is installed.
The new traffic light system will also use updated signal technology, allowing better traffic flow management. It is expected that possible adjustments to signal phases will reduce waiting times and manage traffic more effectively. The system will also be integrated with traffic control systems for real-time traffic monitoring.
No further information about the specific technology used in the new traffic light system was provided. For precise dates and detailed descriptions, checking official Solingen municipal announcements or contacting the city’s traffic department would provide the most current and accurate information.
As the renovation progresses, residents and commuters are advised to plan their routes accordingly and be patient during the brief disruptions that may occur. The modernised traffic light system at the intersection of Höhscheider Straße / Friedenstraße is set to provide a safer and more efficient traffic flow for years to come.
The modernized traffic light system, integrating advanced LED technology and acoustic signals for the visually impaired, will enhance finance for the town by increasing revenue from the improved traffic flow and reducing accidents. The induction loops and traffic light masts will be replaced in the transportation sector, ensuring a smoother operation of vehicles and maintaining the accessibility for all users.
