Roadworks in West Sussex village explained as temporary traffic signals installed
Motorists in Felpham are being advised to allow extra time, amid ongoing roadworks.
West Sussex County Council works are taking place on Felpham Way, near Rife Way, and involve significant upgrades to pedestrian crossing infrastructure.
The project includes the decommissioning of the existing pedestrian crossing, along with its signals and controller. In its place, a new and improved crossing will be installed, featuring upgraded signal poles, signal heads, and a modern controller system.
To facilitate the works – which began on March 16 – temporary two-way traffic signals have been put in place, which may cause congestion, particularly during peak travel times.
A West Sussex County Council spokesperson said: “The temporary signals on Felpham Way are to support works being carried out as part of the council’s three‑year Halogen Replacement Programme which includes upgrading pedestrian crossings and associated highway signal equipment.
"The works involve decommissioning the existing pedestrian crossing and installing upgraded signal poles, signal heads and a new controller.
“The works will run until April 10, although this may be subject to change depending on site conditions.”
