Advice: Flood sites along the Aire & Calder


Waterway: Aire & Calder Navigation »

From 01/04/2010 until further notice

Craft users should be aware that until further notice, the red flashing warning traffic lights at flood locks may not tally with the red, amber, green water level signage prior to entering a river section.
The signage should be seen as correct, and not the flashing red traffic light. The flashing red traffic light will give an indication of the river condition, and should not be far off the river signage indicator.
An upgrade of the system is planned later this year which will correct this problem.
Navigation of river sections should be gauged by the traffic light warning signage, forecasted weather conditions, and when in amber operator confidence and experience.

Lock operation will be permitted even if the red traffic light is flashing.
