Traffic Signals

Traffic signals enhance safety in the community and improve traffic flow. All New Westminster traffic signals adhere to design standards and are operated by the City of New Westminster's Electric Utility.

All traffic signals in New Westminster are equipped with 12-watt LE signal heads. Some signals are also equipped with audible signals, countdown timers and back-up battery supply in case of a power outage.

For feedback about traffic signal design, please submit a Transportation and Engineering Inquiry.

Use the MyCity Portal to request traffic signal timing information.
