Traffic Battery Backups at Critical Traffic Signals Prevent
Accidents During Power Outages
Battery backup systems cost effective per system, depending on
the type and number of LED traffic signals at the intersection.
Each system provides enough electricity to operate the traffic
signals in the normal, fully functioning mode or as red flashing
lights for two hours. After that time, the signals will flash
red for another two hours, alerting motorists that the
intersection is operating as a four-way stop.
The Energy Commission worked with local governments to identify
vulnerable, high priority intersections, using criteria such as
traffic volume, the number of accidents and the presence of

Utility Industry and are in use today for many
applications such as street lighting, park lighting, tennis
court lighting, irrigation and pump stations
