Description

The Connecting Leicester project is transforming the city centre and its surroundings into a high quality visitor destination with many pedestrian friendly areas. The Legible Leicester project comprises a number of work-streams. This invitation to tender was for the provision of a new Free Text Variable Message Signs (VMS) Car Park Signs which are capable of displaying other information as well. Effective management and control of parking facilities is considered to be important in managing access to the city centre. Guiding vehicles to the nearest available parking spot helps reduce circulating traffic, therefore contributing to lower congestion and pollution levels. A dynamic parking guidance system which could also be utilised to inform motorists of other incidents, events or traffic related messages will further help manage traffic in and around Leicester. As such the proposed Free Text VMS Car Park Signs will help achieve some of Leicester City Council's LTP3 transport objectives: • Reduce congestion. • Improve connectivity and access. • Improve air quality and reduce noise. • Reduce carbon emissions. • Improve quality of life. All roads where the signs will be installed have 30mph speed limits. Suppliers that are party to the Crown Commerical Services TMT2 framework were invited to tender.
