Traffic lights supporting Selective Vehicle Detection (SVD)

The request was successful.

Dear Transport for London,

Could you please provide information on the number of traffic lights that support Selective Vehicle Detection (SVD), and if they're enabled to provide bus priority. Specifically could you answer these questions.

1. The number of lights supporting SVD
2. The number of lights providing bus priority
3. The location of lights supporting & providing bus priority
4. The bus routes benefiting from SVD

Questions are in order of interest if providing data places an undue burden on TfL.

Yours faithfully,

Thomas Purchas
