Under Chapter 8, O10.10.4, regarding the requirement to tilt mobile lane closure signs (TSRGD Diagram 7403) at approx. 5 degrees has confused some in the industry as the Nissen Light Arrows are not necessarily mounted at 5 degree angle from the road surface.

Nissen introduces LED counter for portable traffic lights.  The system is powered from the lights and can be retro-fitted to LZA 400 and LZA 500. For product details, click here.

As one of the leading suppliers of 6 V Premium 800 and Air Alkaline batteries, Nissen UK Limited is pleased to confirm that it has joined a Government Approved Battery Compliance Scheme. The Environment Agency’s Battery Producer Registration Number is BPRN01042.

Nissen will be pleased to arrange free of charge empty containers for collection of Nissen waste batteries at any traffic management depot in the UK for its customers and arrange for the free collection and recycling of such waste batteries. For details, customers and distributors are encouraged to contact Nissen at sales@nissen-uk.com .

Nissen is proud to announce that it has developed a single battery LED lamp for taper application. The superior self-synchronising lamp produces a bright light which can be seen from a far distance providing clear lane closure information. Before product launch, the lamps were successfully trialled on the M1 Motorway in Nottinghamshire by a well respected national traffic management contractor. According to the operatives who trialled the lamps, they found the lamps extremely easy to use and quick to deploy. Additionally, they found the new TaperLamps 10 times brighter than the existing sequential lamps. 

The TaperLamps are now in full production and available ex-stock, are currently being used by many traffic management companies in the UK.

After listening to experts in the traffic management industry, Nissen now introduces its single battery, LED road danger lamp which is activated when cone-mounted. ConiLamp has a built-in solar switch and offers up to 400 operation hours on a Nissen Premium 800 6v battery. The innovative and patented technology used in the new enhanced lens offers 10 cd light output - outperforming any other lamp on the market. The industry feedback has been very positive.

Originally designed for the police in Germany, Nissen developed a bespoke VMS system which is roof-mountable. Using the latest LED technology, the WeNiPol provides a superior road hazard warning and information to motorists. The system was demonstrated to the Highways Agency and the Department of Transport at the TRL. The impressive performance WeNiPol undderpinned the Signs Authorisation and the Type Approval.

Nissen developed a bespoke VMS system to display lane information for mobile works. System included a vehicle mounted Nissen VMS 35k on the top to display wicket lane information and various TSRGD prescribed and authorised signs. The Nissen VMS 21k was placed at the bottom part of the VMS 35k capable of displaying yardage information and other prescribed and authorised signs. Both systems were interlinked and operated via cab control. The successful trail at the TRL, led to the system getting Authorised and Type Approved by the Highways Agency.

Nissen demonstrated its compact and highly effective mobile sequential LED hazard warning set to the Department for Transport and the Highways Agency at the TR: test track for day-time and night-time performance. This impressive system was equally effective as the twin battery sequential lamps making it an ideal product for incident management – taking far little space in the vehicles. The successful trial led to the Synchros being authorised by the Department for Transport.

To prevent motorists from driving through temporarily closed lanes, especially slip roads, Carillion – one of the respected national traffic management contractors tested the Nissen’s unique 2m wide plastic barrier system on a slip road on the M40. The system took less than 3 minutes to create a barricade behind coned off area providing a safe works zone for the workforce. The barriers were mounted with Nissen MonoLights and metal brackets enabling the motorists to see from a far distance that the slip road was temporarily closed and not accessible. The ease of use and quick deployment of this effective barricade system was extremely well received. As a result of this trial, the company is using this unique barrier system on various locations around the road network.

Nissen’s well known mini-Light arrow system which was used for works vehicles all over the country has been successfully Authorised and Type Approved by Highways Agency. Both Halogen and LED systems went through a trail at TRL proving their effectiveness to warn motorists of blocked lanes. The use of Mini-Light Arrow is similar to the large Light Arrow often used on Crash Cushion vehicles. For instance, the Arrows are permitted to be used on live lanes while the 4-fold option is used on hard-shoulder.

Nissen was the first company in the world to introduce a trailer mounted light arrow. Since then Nissen has been supplying the Halogen based Light arrow in the UK for crash cushions and other works vehicles. Nissen has now developed an LED Light arrow which offers all the advantages of LED technology, for example, lower power consumption, low maintenance, long product life, etc. After a successful demonstration to Highway Agency and the Department for Transport, the system is now authorised for use in the UK.
