School crossing patrol signals
We are responsible for amber flashing units on school crossing patrol signs on the roads that we maintain.
If you spot lights that are faulty or not working, please tell us.
The twin amber flashing units on school crossing patrol signs should flash alternately before the start and end of the school day only.

Call us to report a fault
Please call 0151 233 3001 to report a fault or issue.
What happens next?
We will attend emergency reports within 2 hours and repair it if we can. Most emergency faults normally require follow up repairs, so if we cannot fix it immediately, we will make it safe until we can arrange a full repair.
We will inspect other faults within 15 working days.
If the fault is with the electricity supply, we will ask the electricity supplier to carry out the repair. In these cases, the timescales are out of our control, but their typical response time is up to 35 working days.
