Last week Lillian Greenwood MP, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State and Minister for the Future of Roads at the Department for Transport, visited the village of Hayton, near Pocklington, for a guided tour of one of the sites of our innovative street lights trial, Live Labs 2. The minister visited the test site to see for herself how the scheme will work, and was given a presentation by council officers and local councillors involved in the trial. We are leading a group of nine other authorities in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland on the Live Labs 2 street lighting project. In the past year, we have installed more than 80km of new highly reflective white lines, more than 5,000 solar powered illuminated road studs and more than 140 square metres of new, highly reflective signs on the A1079 and A164. All are designed to give drivers all the visual indications they need to navigate the road without the need for traditional overhead lighting. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eAShjWEa
