Traffic lights at 4 more important intersections in Lviv equipped with autonomous power supply
Four more traffic lights have been equipped with autonomous power supply in Lviv. These are the locations at the intersections of Chornovil Avenue with Pid Dubom, Kushevycha (bicycle crossing), Kulish streets, as well as near School No. 53. In the event of a power outage, traffic lights there will be able to work uninterruptedly for up to 8 hours. This was reported by Lvivavtodor.
“These are some of the areas where road accidents occur most often. Therefore, it was extremely important to ensure the uninterrupted operation of these four traffic lights in the event of a power outage,” the utility said.
In general, as of today, traffic lights at 29 critical intersections in Lviv can operate in the event of a power outage.
“We managed to provide traffic light control at 13 intersections, in particular, thanks to cooperation with concerned residents and businesses who share their generators. We also purchased uninterruptible power supplies to equip traffic lights at another 13 locations. In the event of a power outage, they will be able to operate autonomously for up to 4-8 hours, depending on the capacity of the traffic light facility. Traffic lights at 3 more locations have been connected to the critical infrastructure power line, so they operate in a “non-stop” mode,” Lvivavtodor said.
