The UK’s most innovative traffic control systems specialist, TWM, is continuing to commit to a more sustainable future after posting record sales of environmentally friendly traffic signs in 2019. Following this news, a commitment has been made by TWM to ensure that at least 75% of traffic signs and signals in 2020 are powered by either wind or solar energy as they continue their pledge for a more sustainable future
In addition, TWM, who specialise in designing, manufacturing and installing innovative traffic control systems has also introduced signage that can be powered by lithium ion batteries, another more environmentally friendly alternative to 230 V power. An example of where these sustainable signs are already making an impact is in North Yorkshire County Council, where TWM redesigned the current signage to ensure that there was a minimal impact on the environment. As well as developing air pollution sensors, TWM are also developing sensors that can detect floods in high risk areas, these sensors will sit alongside their current available ones that include monitoring road and air temperatures.
