Illuminated traffic poles light up in Bengaluru

Bengaluru: City’s first illuminated traffic pole was inaugurated near the entrance to Rajajinagar and similar poles are likely to be put up at other areas.

As per reports, the entire pole embedded with LED strips will turn red, yellow, or green according to the signal in place making it visible to more people. For this, a three-metre-long LED light strip has been strapped around the pole.

“Many people had complained that the several signals in the city are not properly visible to drivers either because of dust or that tree branches hide the signals. This three-metre-long LED strip will solve such issues,” said a senior officer.

It is also gathered that similar poles will come up at different parts in the city to help commuters deal with the issue of poor visibility of traffic signals.
