Traffic lights

Most traffic lights and pedestrian signals in Sunderland are maintained by the Regional Traffic Signal Service based in Newcastle.  The service covers the whole of Tyne and Wear and surrounding counties.

If you spot a signal fault, please contact the Regional Traffic Signal Service on 0191 278 7878 and provide the location of the traffic signals and details of the fault.

In most cases a traffic signal technician will be on site within two hours of the report.

Sunderland City Council will investigate problems with temporary traffic signals only.
