Helping roadworks to progress smoothly, with minimal disruption

Managing a low-speed traffic zone in dense residential or commercial areas presents unique challenges, such as high information density and sensitive public perception. 

Unlike the open highway, low-speed traffic management must account for high pedestrian volume, narrow road layouts, and the environmental impact of idling vehicles. The priority is not just safety but improving traffic flow to reduce the frustrations of the local community and the impact on the local environment. 

SRL provides a wide range of intelligent traffic systems, designed to meet the unique demands of local authorities and urban contractors. We provide a variety of products from portable traffic signals to security barriers, which allow complex street works to function with the same efficiency as a permanent installation. 

By integrating advanced detection and monitoring into the site layout, our technology enables urban traffic flow solutions that actively reduce the stop-start nature of roadworks.  

In low-speed zones, space is often the primary constraint. Effective management requires clear communication that speaks to cyclists and pedestrians as effectively as motorists. 

• For high-complexity junctions, SRL’s Urban64 provides an intelligent alternative to permanent infrastructure. As the only temporary system to feature MOVA technology, it offers the sophisticated logic of fixed signal installation in a flexible format. 
• Many of our portable traffic signals use Multiphase ADS and UTMC integration. These advanced control systems react to real-time flow, so that junctions remain responsive to actual traffic volumes rather than fixed timers, reducing queue lengths by 50%. 
• Our portable UTMC device allows local authorities to remotely control temporary systems, facilitating seamless integration with the wider urban ITS network.  
• Our small and medium variable message signs (VMS) units offer a compact footprint, specifically engineered for restricted urban areas and narrow streets. These solar-powered, full colour displays integrate advanced radar technology for live speed detection and driver feedback. 
• Our solutions, which also include CCTV, work zone protection barriers, ANPR and remotely operated stop/go signs, can be easily installed and repositioned, so layouts can be quickly adapted as works progress. 
• Whether providing stability via long–term hire for major city-centre regeneration or delivering responsive short–term hire for rapid low traffic neighbourhood (LTN) rollouts, our equipment options ensure total site integrity across all low-speed environments.
