Lviv has started large-scale work on replacing old lamp traffic lights with new energy-saving LED ones. About 60 new traffic lights have already been installed at 5 sites. In total, 288 old traffic lights will be replaced at 20 traffic light facilities. This was reported by Lvivavtodor.
“The main purpose of replacing the lamp traffic lights with LED ones is to save electricity consumption, improve the visibility of traffic signals at different times of the day, and increase safety for all road users,” Lvivavtodor said.
Currently, the traffic lights have been replaced at the following locations: Zelena Street – Navrotskoho Street, Naukova Street – Troleibusna Street, Stryiska Street (near 59 Skorynya Street), Horodotska Street (near 355 Intermarket shopping center), Stryiska Street – Chmoly Street. Currently, the works are underway at the intersection of Lystopadovoho Chynu Street and Universytetska Street, and are scheduled to be completed by March 20.
In addition, traffic lights are planned to be replaced at 14 more traffic light facilities: Heroiv UPA st. – Smal-Stotskoho st., Antonovycha st. – Zaliznyaka st., Levytskoho st. – Tershakovtsiv st., Zelena st. – Vulecka st., Sakharov st. – Vitovskoho st. – Kopernika st., Stryiska st. – Vernadskoho st. (bus station), Volodymyr Velykyi st. Volodymyr Velykyi Street – Symonenko Street – Ivan-Teodozii Kurovets Street, Kulish Street – Zernova Street, Chornovil Avenue – Khimichna Street, Mazepa Street – Instrumentalna Street, Syayvo Street – Levandivska Street – Shyroka Street, B. Khmelnytskyi Street – Poliska Street, Kulparkivska Street – Shchyretska Street, Levytskoho Street – Studenca Street.
“For the duration of the work, we are forced to temporarily turn off a particular traffic light. We apologize for the inconvenience,” Lvavtodor added.
As a reminder, Lvavtodor operates 167 traffic light facilities, which is more than 2,100 traffic lights of various types. Approximately 600 of them are lamps.
By the way, Lviv will have more traffic lights that can be controlled online. Thus, this year, another 60 facilities are planned to be connected to the central traffic control system. This will make it possible to monitor traffic lights online, respond quickly to emergencies, reconfigure them remotely, and more.
