New standards, best practice guidance?
Or has it disappeared without trace?
Was it a civil service exercise for the government to be seen to pander to the motoring lobby?
TSM 6 (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... pter-6.pdf) details VA loops as part of speed discrimination (which can be used to trigger red signals as well as extend greens depending on requirement).
The AECOM report will have been an exercise into "can we change anything" to which the DfT response is always no. This country would benefit massively from using flashing ambers as a general caution signal instead of greens in several cases. This happens without issue in Europe, but that might be the problem. Even Ireland has them.
