Requests to mount equipment such as banners, flower baskets and festive lighting are covered by our highway licence arrangement. Traffic control equipment such as signals and CCTV are placed in specific positions to ensure that the aspects are readily visible and that pedestrians can access push button units or the necessary view is provided. For these reasons, where it is proposed to install traffic control equipment on lamp columns the street lighting designer should contact the relevant system designer to first determine the position of lamp columns and then locate the remaining street lighting around these positions. Banners and advertising Banners attached to existing street furniture and equipment such as lighting can provide an effective way of providing temporary signage or advertisement with minimal additional clutter and is controlled by licence. The banner may be provided where the promoter can demonstrate that: • The existing column can take the weight of the banner • The fixings match the colour of the column • The banners and fixings are removed within an agreed timeframe and with no damage caused to the permanent street furniture • The banner and fixings do not cause road safety or visibility concerns Advertising should be integrated within the urban realm so as to not impinge on pedestrian movement or impact on the overall quality of the streetscape. The content of the advertising should comply with our conditions for the acceptance of advertising. These conditions are also used to control the artwork displayed on London Underground and buses.

Feature lighting Although the primary purpose of TfL road lighting is to illuminate the carriageway and the footpaths, consideration is also given for ensuring a pleasing aesthetic appearance. Requests for additional feature lighting will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Figure 294: Combined lighting column and signal head Silent Lights by Urban Matter New York City, USA Playful lighting that responds to sound as vehicles pass overhead Key functions Opportunity The challenge for Urban Matter was to transform the area under the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway in New York. The underpass sits in a semi-industrial landscape surrounded by heavy motorway traffic. The pedestrian path is empty, dark, intimidating and avoided by locals. Benefits The spectacle provides a playful way of lighting the space and also gives a sense of safety at night. The ‘gates’ act as a wayfinding device to define a pathway at human scale across what would otherwise be a non-place. Implementation To create Silent Lights, a series of sensory gates were installed. These use sensors to respond to the noise of the traffic above. Coloured lights illuminate sequentially as vehicles pass overhead.

Applying in London This has the potential to be delivered in similarly forgotten urban underpass locations, such as the A12 through Hackney.
