We use out of 'order tape' with a contact number to cover standard push
buttons when signals are switched off. I can see no reason why this can't
also be used on nearside ped aspects. The only  problem we have found is
that if left on for a long time (i.e. weeks on new installations), it does
leave a mark from the adhesive that has to be removed. My experience of bags
on push buttons is that they don't last very long. Tape is cheaper, easier
to use and seems to be less attractive to our local vandals.

Dave

I would agree with the use of bags unless you have specific lanes coned =
off at a signal junction, but always use pedestrian covers for push =
buttons for all planned switch off periods as this keeps pedestrians =
informed as to the state of the crossing.

We find that when portable signals are used around a bagged - or even
signed - permanent installation, drivers don't know what to do.  We
therefore don't use bags or signs...just switch off.  This leaves the
portable set as the most visible.

Liverpool City Council should be able to help with an address, however.
 Try Ian  Lancaster: 0151 225 3384.
