In October 2023, the governments Plan for drivers announced measures to fund traffic management systems maintenance and upgrading by local authorities, including the:

• Traffic Signal Obsolescence Grant (TSOG) a 30 million fund to provide better traffic lights
• Green Light Fund (GLF) a 20 million fund to provide smarter traffic lights

Funding for these measures totals 50 million, of which 10 million will be distributed automatically to all eligible English local highway authorities using the Integrated Transport Block allocation grant formula.

The remaining 40 million will be awarded, in March 2024, to combined authorities and local highway authorities following a competition process held in autumn 2023.
