Winner Best Paper: In October 2023 the Department for Transport announced new funding specifically for the Traffic Signals Industry. Divided into two, the “Traffic Signal Obsolescence Grant” offered
funds to pay for modernisation of the UK traffic signals asset, while the “Green Light Fund” provided means for Local Authorities to improve capacity and reduce delay on their network. In total, these provided £50 million to provide “better” and “smarter” traffic lights across England.
