THE traffic signals and pedestrian crossings on Wakefield Road will be in operation this week.
A spokeswoman for Barnsley Council said the signals, at the junction with Old Mill Lane and the new bus corridor, are fully automated and able to adapt to varying traffic conditions via loop sensors installed within the road surface.
She said: "Resurfacing work has been carried out overnight in the river bridge area, where a number of the detector loops have been installed."
She said the council's traffic signal contractor will undertake fine tuning of the signals over several days to ensure they operate as smoothly as possible to improve traffic flow in the area.
