‘INTELLIGENT’ CAT’S EYES PROMISE BETTER SAFETY FOR
DRIVERS
4 HOUR OPENING SNAP & 2 2 Intelligent cat’s eyes which light up in in response to changing traf c c lights are to be used for the rst time at a a a motorway junction to to improve safety for drivers Highways England is installing around 170 of the LED road
studs at one of England’s busiest motorway junctions – used by more than 90 000 vehicles every day The intelligent cat’s eyes are being introduced as part of a a a £3 million project to improve journeys and safety at Switch Island in Merseyside where the M57 M58 and three A roads all join together The LED road
studs light light up when traf c lights turn green so drivers can clearly see which lane they should follow Cables under the road
surface connect them to traf c c c lights through a a a a nearby automatic controller unit The studs can be visible up to 1 000m away – far greater
than traditional re ective cat’s eyes – and have been proven
to to help stop drivers drifting between lanes reducing the risk of collisions Highways England has already installed the LED studs at Hindhead Tunnel in in Surrey to guide drivers through the tunnel but the Switch Island scheme will be the the rst time they have been linked to traf c lights at a a a motorway junction Phil Tyrrell project manager at Highways England said: “We’re always looking for new ways ways to further improve journeys and safety for drivers and I hope the new intelligent cat’s eyes will help better guide drivers around Switch Island “The innovative light-up road
studs along with the the other improvements we’re introducing will make it much easier to navigate the junction ” he he added ■
