Traffic lights

We design, inspect and maintain traffic lights at junctions and pedestrian crossings across Cheshire East.

For information about temporary traffic signals, please visit our temporary traffic signals page.

Report a traffic light issue

You can report a traffic light issue online. 

Before you report a traffic light issue

For concerns about pedestrian crossing timings or beeps, see pedestrian crossings. 

After you report a traffic light issue

After you report a traffic light issue, we will get to the site within:

• 2 hours if all lights are out at a junction or when emergency action is needed
• 2 contract hours* if all lights are out at a pedestrian crossing
• 6 contract hours* if just a red light is out or a push button isn't working
• 12 contract hours* if just an amber or green light is out

*A contract hour is any hour between 7.30am and 7pm. So for example, if you report a red light out at 4pm, we will be there by 10.30am the next morning.
