LED traffic lighting systems in Attard, Malta
Smart Light Systems, in partnership with the Attard Local Council, has initiated the pilot project.
The pedestrian crossing lighting uses eco-friendly LED lights that are powered by a solar panel system and hence do not use state’s electricity. The LED lights turn on immediately when natural light drops below a particular level. With the new lighting installation, motorists can easily notice the existence of a pedestrian crossing the area.
Smart Light Systems has also improved the pedestrian crossing to comply with road regulations. The crossing now features a black and white pole that is increased 3 m from the ground level. The pole, along with the LED lighting, enhances the view of the pedestrian crossing and ensures pedestrians safety.
