00:00New smart streetlights have been installed on roads surrounding Everton's Hill-Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool,
00:07designed to respond automatically to changing traffic levels.
00:11The traffic-adaptive lighting system uses sensors linked to a central management network,
00:17adjusting brightness depending on how busy nearby roads become.
00:21Liverpool City Council says the project should improve pedestrian safety during busy periods,
00:26while reducing unnecessary energy use when traffic is lighter.
00:30The scheme has been funded by the Department for Transport
00:33and is expected to deliver energy savings of up to 30% over the next decade.
00:39Council engineers say the technology supports Liverpool's sustainability.
