The latest significant technological
improvement in the traffic signals area is the usage of Light Emitting
Diode (LED) bulbs instead of incandescent bulbs for vehicular and
pedestrian signal heads.
The LED signal is a
cheaper, brighter, energy saving light bulb with increased visibility
even during inclement weather conditions and has a longer life compared
to signals using incandescent bulbs.
Currently, in the City of Stamford, traditional signals are being
replaced with LED signals as part of various ongoing projects. The
Division's policy is to use LED signals when upgrading or at any new
signal installation.
Significant savings in energy and maintenance costs is the result.
