How to report faulty traffic lights

All permanent traffic signals within Greater Manchester are looked after by the Greater Manchester Urban Traffic Control Unit.

Most traffic signals are monitored automatically. However, sometimes they may fail or malfunction for a variety of reasons and the fault may not be apparent to the traffic control unit and consequently the fault may not be attended to promptly.
