Harnham Gyratory junction traffic lights to be upgraded
The work is expected to take three weeks
Last updated 17th Mar 2023
The traffic lights at the Harnham Gyratory junction in Salisbury are going to be upgraded in April.
Work on the lights at the junction of the A338, A354 and A3094 is expected to last three weeks.
It will see the existing equipment replaced with new and improved signals, which hope to improve the traffic flow at the junction.
Temporary lights will be in place over the first two days of work, before new, more advanced signals are introduced.
The new lights aim to minimise delays by taking timings from up-to-date traffic models.
Cabinet Member for Transport Cllr Caroline Thomas said:
“The current signals have been in place for more than 20 years, and they need to be updated, along with associated cabling work, to take advantage of new technology which can use data on traffic volumes. This will significantly improve traffic flows and improve journey time reliability.
“The lights are essential to control both safe traffic movements and to ensure pedestrians and cyclists can use and cross the busy junction safely.”
