Portsmouth City Council, GB installs LED crosswalk as part of Be Bright, Be Seen safety campaign

Portsmouth City Council, GB LED Crosswalk Be Bright Be Seen

Complete

Project partner Colas added its Flowell LED lighting system to a busy crosswalk in the city center. The system illuminates speed bumps and lines when pedestrians are passing through the crosswalk. Portsmouth is the first city in the United Kingdom to use this technology. The Be Bright, Be Seen campaign also uses a near-miss reporting form for cyclists and educational sessions for motorists to improve road safety.
