London traffic lights switch off 'could save £40m'

Street scene at night with traffic lights

Switching off London's traffic lights at night could save drivers up to £40m, a new report has suggested.
The proposals by the Conservative group on the London Assembly claim turning off the lights for six hours overnight could cut fuel costs.
The report author Richard Tracey said the move could "boost the economy and help the environment".
However, the Labour said the plans disregarded "driver and pedestrian safety".
