The new traffic lights will help improve reliability.
Leicestershire County Council will receive funding from the Department for Transport to improve traffic lights.
After a successful bid, the council received £250,000 towards upgrading old traffic lights to improve reliability and reduce faults.
Some signals will also have LED lights added to help save on energy.
Councillor Ozzy O’Shea, cabinet member for highways and transport, said: “Ensuring our traffic lights are well maintained and upgraded as regularly as possible helps us reduce delays caused by faults and keep traffic in Leicestershire moving. We are currently scoping out areas which need their older traffic signals replacing as a priority and will announce areas once they are confirmed.”
The extra money from the Department for Transport is part of this year’s Highway Maintenance settlement for English local authorities outside London.
The government’s £15 million scheme had over 100 authorities bid to receive funding of up to £500k.
Leicestershire was one of 39 successful councils.
