Traffic lights improvements in Crawley starts this week

Work to upgrade traffic lights at the London Road and Martyrs Avenue junction in Crawley, is due to start Wednesday January 20.

The £79,100 West Sussex County Council scheme will also involve installing tactile paving to assist visually impaired people. Signals and signal poles will also be upgraded.

Henry Smith, Leader of the County Council, said: “It is vital for these traffic lights to be upgraded, to help keep this area safe for motorists and pedestrians.”

The work is scheduled to take up to 11 weeks to complete, weather permitting. It will be carried out Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm, and occasionally on Saturdays from 7.30am to 1pm.

During the scheme, no right-turns are allowed in or out of Martyrs Avenue, and no left-turns into the road. These restrictions will not run at the same time, and a diversion route will be in operation to help with traffic flow along the A23.
