Rapid Response in a nutshell
Lightweight Design
The smaller and slim-line design means that Rapid Response signals can be lifted and manoeuvred without the need for any manual handling aid or wheels.
Quick to Install
Designed with one-person operation in mind, Rapid Response signals can be deployed and set up within minutes and can fully integrate with portable and temporary systems.
Easy to Transport
Thanks to its collapsible tripod design, detachable head, and smaller battery, Rapid Response does not need a trailer and can simply be transported in the back of a car or small van in most cases.
Highways Approved
Rapid Response meets all the relevant highways approvals ensuring it is safe to use on the UK’s road including; Highways Agency Approvals TR 2502 (Equivalent), TR 2503, TR 2504, TR 2537 and TR 2538.
Pedestrian Capability
Easily integrates with pedestrian heads to support safe and effective pedestrian crossing management.
Double Head Capability
Add a double head configuration onto your Rapid Response unit to place a traffic signal on both sides of the road on the same approach.
Keep your works moving with Rapid Response — fast, reliable traffic control when you need it most.
Is Rapid Response right for your project?
Rapid Response is ideal for:
- Short-term or single-day works
- Short-notice deployments
- Emergency or reactive works
- Simple, reliable temporary traffic control
- Smaller applications (typically 2-4 signals)
Consider another signal option if:
- Planned or long-term projects
- Larger or more complex multi-signal setups
- Extended use requiring longer battery life or solar-powered efficiency
- Remote monitoring or adaptive control needed
Multiphase ADS
Multiphase ADS (Adaptive Detection System) is an advanced form of vehicle actuation that optimises traffic flow by detecting vehicle demand and adjusting signal timings in real time, helping to reduce delays and improve efficiency on-site.
