PHOTO: Township Begins Installing Battery Backup Systems for Traffic Lights

January 4, 2023 2:00 pm

The Lakewood Township today began installing battery backup systems for traffic lights around town.

Township officials tell TLS this is being done to provide power to the traffic lights in the event of a power outage.

Currently, only township-owned traffic lights are being upgraded.

Officials hope that the state will soon follow to provide systems for their traffic lights as well.

The township sometimes contracts with the county to this type of work for them.

They obviously are doing a shared service by having the County service their lights.

They should also install auxiliary traffic lights just in case the inevitable happens.
