In 2016 the Department for Transport (DfT) established the Safer Roads Fund to allow local authorities to improve safety on the 50 most dangerous local ‘A’ roads in England. These routes have the highest risk of death and serious injury and are identified by the Road Safety Foundation, in conjunction with EuroRAP, each year.
One such route is the A161 Goole in the East Riding of Yorkshire to the junction with the A18 in North Lincolnshire. This was identified as one of the 50 most dangerous roads based on collisions on the route between 2012 and 2014. There were two fatal; nine serious and 36 slight injury collisions during this time. Further analysis revealed a loss of control at legal speeds as a significant contributory factor and that incidents were distributed along the route rather than clustered around accident blackspots. A relatively high incidence of motorcyclist KSI collisions was also established.
Safer Roads Funding was granted in 2017 to address these issues through a combination of measures that included improvements to the road surface, signage and road markings.
In total, 600 white SolarLite Active Road Studs were installed along the A161 to provide enhanced delineation along the centre line along with other improvements to the road markings.
Active road studs store solar energy during the day and illuminate as darkness falls to provide a view of the road ahead 10 times further than that provided by traditional retro-reflective road studs. The extra visibility means drivers have more time to respond to upcoming bends and changes in topography, helping them stay safely on the road. The studs have a low profile of less than 4mm, so do not present a hazard to motorcyclists.
Previous installations of SolarLite Active Road Studs have reduced night-time accidents by over 70 percent. It is hoped the combined road safety measures on the A161 will reduce the number of collisions by 40 percent in the three years following completion of the scheme.
Smart, safe and sustainable solar powered road studs, proven to increase night time road safety. Providing a view of the road layout ahead in the driver's natural line of vision and well beyond the headlight beam of a vehicle.
Three major 1st class routes were identified for route safety solutions by our local partner in Slovakia.
Cambridgeshire County Council, in partnership with Milestone Infrastructure decided that all studs should be fully renewed.
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.
Intelligent Hardwired Bi-Directional Road Studs installed at Blackwall Tunnel in Kent to create a contra-flow from the southern boar to the northern boar.
SolarLite Active Road Studs trialled in Sweden to see if they can withstand impact from snow ploughs and cope in extreme cold weather

The Shoreham Road forms a U-shaped link road providing access to air-freight warehousing associated with the Airport. In context, the top of the ‘U’ is in the north, the east and west outer sides are warehouses which are used to transfer freight between ‘airside’ (cargo planes) and ‘landside’ (HGVs).
The A50 is a strategic east to west connection between the M6 and M1
The Stoneferry Corridor is a primary route originating north of Hull, with strategic connections to the Port of Hull, City Centre, and Eastern areas of Hull. It is heavily dominated by industry, HGV activity and businesses, with pockets of residential, retail, and educational buildings.
