TWM Urge Schools to Review Road Signage for Student Safety

• TWM Traffic Control Systems is asking schools to review road signage surrounding schools
• Request comes as it’s revealed that traffic accidents will increase when the clocks go back an hour
• Many schools and authorities have contacted TWM in order to update local signage

Renowned for its innovative traffic control systems and illuminated traffic signs, Winsford-based TWM is urging schools across the UK to review the signage on roads outside their grounds before the clocks go back in October.

It is estimated that there is an increase of 20 road accidents each day when the clocks go back with three quarters of the extra collisions occurring in the afternoons, which are darker after the time change.

TWM has seen a considerable increase in the number of enquiries from schools looking to review and install new signage in the areas immediately around their grounds and the traffic control systems specialists are urging other schools to follow suit before October 27^th when the clocks are changed.

TWM’s two safe route to school signs include the ‘part time speed sign with corner clusters’ and ‘school flashing warning sign LED twin amber flasher’.

Both signals can be controlled by various means including a programmable ACTIV8 smart switch, Talento time switches, handheld remote-control device or by GSM text messaging.
