Olympic traffic in good and familiar hands
The government programme dubbed 'Keep London Moving' resembles a military operation. With the Olympic Games of 2012 now in sight, nothing is left to chance in the British capital. Mayor Boris Johnson is keeping a watchful eye on everything related to public transport and traffic. Imtech (Peek Traffic) is his partner.
One thing is certain: 55,000 athletes, officials, sponsors and journalists will descend on London in 2012 to flock to the stadiums and venues where the Games will take place. On top of this, another 240,000 people will come to watch the events every day. Road network authority 'Transport for London', entrusted with ensuring optimum mobility in and around the capital, has signed a multi-year maintenance contract with Peak Traffic. This is a home game for the Imtech company, because for several years now Peek Traffic has been responsible for providing technological solutions and maintenance for more than 40% of the technical infrastructure on, alongside and around the city’s road domain. The functionality of roughly one quarter of the 'Olympic Routes' and associated traffic management system is being checked. Everybody wants to make sure that there are no slipups. With Imtech on the job, it is in good hands.
