A sign of the times?

摘要

The then Transport Minister, Norman Baker MP, announced at the Institute of Highway Engineers Traffic Signing Conference in September that the Government is to go ahead with the relaxation of sign lighting requirements proposed two years ago in the white paper 'Creating growth, cutting carbon'. The Association had pointed out at the time that the signs industry had been in the forefront of developing new technologies to reduce emissions caused by lighting. Manufacturers have developed energy-efficient equipment which reduces consumption by two thirds or more.
