Life in the Borders

Street Lights, Traffic Lights and Road Signs

The Council has responsibility for street lights, traffic lights and road signs on most roads, streets and other public places in the Borders. However, we do not cover "trunk roads" as these are managed by a management contractor that works on behalf of the Scottish Government. You can check which roads are trunk roads.

For roads that are not trunk routes, you can find the topic that you are interested in by clicking the appropriate link below:
