Urban Traffic Management Control - Element A
Improvements to facilities at key junctions and crossings on the West Yorkshire Key Route Network (KRN).
Presently, there are four Urban Traffic Control (UTC) teams, which operate in West Yorkshire and they use various systems and technologies. Whilst the teams share resources where possible, the service levels and standards vary across boundaries, meaning it is not the most efficient use of resources. The West Yorkshire UTMC project aims to reduce the effects of congestion and the resulting costs to the local economy.
