Traffic Signal/Street Lights
Installation of LED Traffic Signal Bulbs

Abington Township is in the process of updating all of the Traffic Signals in the Township to L.E.D. (light emitting diodes). The reasons for these updates are as follows:

• Lower operating costs (smaller electric bills)
• Bright lights that can be seen in adverse weather conditions
• Longer lamp life (fewer bulb outages)
• Reduced maintenance costs
• Reduced sun glare (these bulbs are able to be seen in bright sunshine)
• Lower power consumption (5 to 22 watts as compared to 90 to 169 watts in older bulbs)
• Fewer traffic disruptions (personnel not tying up in traffic replacing bulbs)
• Personnel safety (lower exposure to traffic)

To report a Traffic signal problem, contact Traffic Signal Maintenance at (267) 536-1000 ext 1538 or you may send email. You may be asked for specifics such as location, direction of travel, is light on a pole or on mast, what color is the defective light, etc.
