The signalised junction of Wimborne Road with Whitelegg Way (A347) in Bournemouth, Dorset is well known for being a congested and busy location, experiencing high traffic flows throughout the day. Historically, this has been a difficult junction for cyclists to negotiate as it joins one of the major routes into the centre of Bournemouth.
The junction only provided priority to buses emerging from the side road with general traffic having to wait. This resulted in cyclists being discouraged from using the junction due to the 2 minute time-lag for the traffic signals to change, unless following a bus. Cyclists would often cut the corner to avoid having to wait, ultimately putting themselves and other road users at risk.
Bournemouth Borough Council received numerous complaints and requests on how the junction on Whitelegg Way could be improved. This resulted in the Council conducting their own research and concluded with the decision to implement traffic improvements on Whitelegg Way.
The junction was redesigned to incorporate a designated cycle lane, advanced stop line and deployment of the M100BR Bicycle Radar wireless detection system linked to the traffic signals, ensuring that the traffic signal control system was alerted to the presence of cyclists at the junction.
Detecting cyclists as they approach the junction results in a demand call at the traffic signal control system providing priority to join the main road. In this way, cyclists are now visible to the junction and they are no longer experiencing prolonged waiting periods at the junction, alleviating the temptation to take unnecessary risks such as cutting the corner.
The installation and use of the M100BR system on Whitelegg Way has been a great success, receiving positive feedback from local cyclists and other regular users of the route who have witnessed or experienced first-hand the problems this junction used to cause.
The M100BR Bicycle Radar Detector has been designed to uniquely detect the presence of a bicycle within a defined zone and differentiate it from other forms of traffic. The M100BR works in conjunction with the M100 wireless vehicle detection system.
M100BR installation keeps bus station customers safe and warm in the North East of England.
Clearview Intelligence worked with Atkins and Cambridgshire County Council to design a lighting solution that provided cyclists and pedestrians with a clear delineation between the cycle path and the busway tracks along the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway.
Improving safety for pedestrians on railway crossings using pedeSOLAR level crossing system with integrated SolarLite solar powered active road studs to delineate the edges of the crossing.
Blue solar powered lighting studs were installed on the platform edge in Romford railway station in a trial to understand the effectiveness of using blue lighting to reduce incidents and anti-social behaviour at railway stations. The studs have the added benefit of enhancing the delineation of the platform edge.

The Union Canal is a 31.5 mile (50.7 km) canal in Scotland, from Lochrin Basin and the Leamington lift bridge in Fountainbridge, Edinburgh to Falkirk, where it meets the Forthand Clyde Canal.
With SolarLite Road Studs installed for the illumination of stretches on the M25 Motorway and also between the M2 and M20, Clearview Intelligence installed a quantity of 7,000 Road Studs between junctions 3, 4, 5 and 6 on the M40 Motorway providing ultrabright guidance to motorists around the clock.
Slough Borough Council and their traffic signal consultants Atkins were looking for a more cost effective solution when upgrading multiple traffic signalised junctions along the very busy main A4 dual carriageway
