Choosing the Right Traffic Signal

The most suitable traffic signal will depend on the demands of your site and the nature of the works. When selecting signals to hire, key considerations include:

  • Project duration: Short-term works and longer-duration schemes may require different signal types and configurations.

  • Site complexity: From simple two-way traffic control to busy junctions with multiple traffic phases, site layout plays a key role in safe and efficient traffic flow.

  • Traffic environment: From quiet rural roads to high-footfall urban locations, expected traffic volumes should be considered to ensure signals are fit for purpose.

Our range of temporary traffic signals is designed to support a wide variety of project requirements, from straightforward short-term works to more complex junctions requiring advanced temporary traffic management solutions.

  • Minimum 12-month hire term, ideal for long-term or repeat works

  • Lower weekly hire cost compared to short-term ad-hoc hire

  • Signal personalisation options, including customer-specific colours

Benefits of Hiring Traffic Signals

Lower upfront costs

Compared to purchasing equipment outright, hiring reduces initial spend while still giving access to reliable, professional-grade traffic signals.

No long-term asset commitment

Ideal for temporary, short-term, or variable workloads, hire removes the need to manage owned assets beyond the life of a project.

Access to modern, well-maintained equipment

Hiring ensures you’re using up-to-date traffic signals that are maintained, serviced, and ready for deployment when required.

Support and maintenance options available

With flexible levels of SRL involvement, ongoing support and maintenance can be provided to help reduce operational overhead.
