Zebra crossing beacons

We are responsible for beacon lights at Zebra crossing on the roads that we maintain.

If you spot lights that are faulty or not working, please tell us.

Belisha beacons should flash 24 hours.

What you can report?

• Zebra crossing beacon lights out
• Light not bright enough
• Damage to the post or door (emergency)
• Exposed wires (emergency)
• Light covers or fixtures hanging off (emergency)

It would help if you could tell us where the lights are. For example, if they are at a junction, please provide the road names. If they are near a school, please tell us the name of the school.

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.
