(a) must be of the size, colour and type shown in diagram 3000, 3000.2, 3000.2A, 3000.7, 3000.8, 3000.9 or 3000.10; and

(b) must be illuminated in the following sequence –

(i) red;

(ii) green;

(iii) amber.

(2) If light signals are varied as prescribed by Article 35, 1 or more green arrows shown in diagram 3001.2 or 3001.3 may be illuminated while any of the lights referred to in paragraph (1)(b) are illuminated.

35 Green arrow vehicular light signals

A lens of the size and colour shown in either diagram 3001.2 or 3001.3 that shows a green arrow when illuminated –

(a) may be substituted for the lens showing the green light in the light signals prescribed by Article 34(1) as shown in diagram 3000.8 or 3000.10; or

(b) may be affixed as shown in diagram 3000.7, 3000.8, 3000.9 and 3000.10 to the light signals prescribed by Article 34(1) or to those signals as altered in accordance with sub-paragraph (a).

36 Portable vehicular light signals

Portable vehicular light signal must be –

(a) of the size, colour and type shown in diagram 3000.1; and

(b) illuminated in the sequence prescribed by Article 34(1)(b) except that it is permissible for the signals to be illuminated in the sequence –

(i) red;

(ii) red and amber together;

(iii) green;

(iv) amber.

37 Significance of vehicular light signals

(1) The significance of the light signals prescribed by Articles 34, 35 and 36 is –

(a) the red signal means that vehicular traffic must not proceed beyond the stop line shown in diagrams 1001, 1001.2A, 1001.2B, 1001.3 and 1055.3(b);

(b) the green signal means that vehicular traffic may proceed beyond the stop line;

(c) the amber signal has the same meaning as the red signal, except that if a vehicle is so close to the stop line that it cannot safely be stopped without proceeding beyond the stop line, the amber signal means the same as the green signal or green arrow signal that was shown immediately before it;

(d) the green arrow signal means that, despite any red or amber signal, vehicular traffic may proceed beyond the stop line but only in the direction indicated by the arrow;

(e) if more than 1 green arrow is affixed to light signals in accordance with Article 35(1)(b), despite any red or amber signal, vehicular traffic may proceed beyond the stop line but only in the direction indicated by any 1 of the green arrows; and

(f) if the green arrow signal is displayed at the same time as the green signal, vehicular traffic may proceed in the direction indicated by the green arrow in accordance with sub-paragraph (e) or in any other direction in accordance with sub-paragraph (b).

(2) But if a vehicle is being used for emergency purposes, and observing the red signal in accordance with paragraph (1)(a) would be likely to hinder the use of the vehicle for that purpose, the red signal means that the vehicle must not proceed beyond the stop line unless safe to do so.

38 Meaning of stop line and references to light signals

(1) A reference to a “stop line”, in relation to vehicular light signals, means the road marking shown in diagram 1001, 1001.2A, 1001.2B, 1001.3 or 1055.3(b) when placed in conjunction with those light signals.

(2) But if no stop line is provided or the stop line is not visible, references to the “stop line” in relation to those signals are –

(a) if the sign shown in diagram 7011A, 7011.1 or 7011.2 is placed in conjunction with the light signals, to be treated as references to that sign; or

(b) in any other case, to be treated as references to the post or other structure on which the primary signals are mounted.

(3) If secondary signals are in place, a reference in this Part to light signals of a particular colour is a reference to the light signals displayed by either or both of the primary and secondary signals.

39 Light signals (globes) at zebra crossings

(1) The light signals to be placed at or near a zebra crossing for the purpose of indicating it are shown in diagram 4007 and illuminated by –

(a) a flashing light; or

(b) if authorised by the Minister in writing in relation to a particular crossing, a constant steady light.

(2) The light signals may be placed only in conjunction with the road markings shown in diagram 1001.4 and 1001.5.

(3) A globe may be placed at each end of the crossing and, if there is a refuge for pedestrians or a central reservation on the crossing, 1 or more globes may be placed on the refuge or central reservation if the highway authority thinks fit.

(4) If a globe is mounted on or attached to a post (whether or not specially provided for the purpose) –

(a) the post must have alternate black and white bands, the lowest band being black;

(b) the bands must be at least 275 mm and at most 335 mm wide except that the lowest band may be up to 1,000 mm wide; and

(5) A globe or the post on which it is mounted may be fitted with all or any of the following –

(a) a backing board or other device designed to improve the visibility of the globe;

(b) a shield or other device designed to prevent or reduce light shining into nearby premises;

(6) The following things do not, on their own, prevent a zebra crossing being indicated in accordance with this Article –

(a) the imperfection, disfigurement or discolouration of a globe or post; or

(b) the failure of illumination of a globe.

Type of light sequence	Pelican crossing	Toucan crossing	Petrel crossing	Vehicle junction
Light sequence for vehicles	Steady green Steady amber Steady red Flashing amber	Red Green Amber	Red Green Amber	Red Green Amber
Light sequence for pedestrians	Steady red Steady green Flashing green	Steady red Steady green Blackout	Steady red Steady green Blackout	Steady red Steady green Blackout

(3) The light signals must be designed and constructed so that –

(a) if a signal for pedestrians includes a red figure (the “red signal”), it can be internally illuminated by a steady light;

(b) if a signal for pedestrians includes the green figure and, in the case of a toucan crossing, the green cycle symbol, the signal (the “green signal”) can be internally illuminated –

(i) by a steady light; and

(ii) in the case of a pelican crossing, by either a steady light or a light that flashes at a rate of at least 70 and at most 90 flashes per minute;

(d) the green signal is illuminated only when there is at the same time conveyed to vehicular traffic a prohibition against entering the crossing and the prohibition is indicated by –

(i) the vehicular light signals shown in the table and in Article 34(1) (whether or not varied in accordance with Article 35); or

(ii) those light signals and the sign shown in diagram 606, 612, 613 or 616.

(4) The red signal, when it is illuminated, indicates the period during which, in the interests of safety, pedestrians, or pedestrians and cyclists, should not cross the carriageway (but that vehicular traffic may enter the crossing).

(5) The green signal, when it is illuminated, indicates the period during which pedestrians, or pedestrians and cyclists, may cross the carriageway (and that vehicular traffic must not enter the crossing).

(6) The flashing green signal at a pelican crossing conveys –

(a) to a pedestrian who is already on the crossing when the flashing green signal is first shown –

(i) that the pedestrian may continue to use the crossing; and

(ii) that, if the pedestrian is on the carriageway or a central reservation within the limits of that crossing (but not if the pedestrian is on a central reservation which lies between 2 crossings that form part of a system of staggered crossings) before any part of a vehicle has entered those limits, the pedestrian has right of way over that vehicle within those limits; and

(b) to a pedestrian who is not already on the crossing when the flashing green light is first shown the warning that the pedestrian should not, in the interests of safety, start to cross the carriageway.

(7) The lamp showing an amber light at a pelican crossing must be capable of showing a light which is either steady or which flashes at a rate of at least 70 and at most 90 flashes per minute.

(8) The sign shown in diagram 4003, 4003.1, 4003.1J or 4003.6, when “WAIT” is illuminated, conveys the same indication as the red signal.

(9) At least 1 farside pedestrian light signal and at least 1 indicator for pedestrians must be placed at each end of a pelican crossing.

(10) Each pedestrian light signal must be placed so that it is clearly visible to the people on the other side of the carriageway who wish to use the crossing.

(11) Each indicator for pedestrians must be placed so that the push button on it may be reached by any person who wants to press it.

(12) An audible or tactile signal emitted by a device provided in conjunction with the green signal for the benefit of disabled people indicates to pedestrians the same information as described in paragraph (5).

(13) A farside light signal for pedestrians may be placed on the far side of a crossing only in conjunction with the sign shown in diagram 4002.1 or 4003.5.

(14) If more than 1 signal is in place for pedestrians or cyclists, the signals must each indicate the same message at the same time.

(15) In this Article –

(a) a reference to a vehicle junction with pedestrian crossing facilities is a reference to a vehicle junction indicated by the road marking shown in diagram 1055.1 that is not a pelican, toucan, petrel or zebra crossing;

(b) a reference to a green signal with no other description, in the case of a pelican crossing, is a reference to a steady green signal.

41 Significance of vehicular light signals at or near pelican crossings

(1) The significance of the vehicular light signals for the purpose of indicating a pelican crossing (see Article 40(1)) is –

(a) the green signal indicates that vehicular traffic may proceed beyond the stop line and through the crossing;

(b) the green arrow signal indicates that vehicular traffic may proceed beyond the stop line and through the crossing only for the purpose of proceeding in the direction indicated by the arrow;

(c) except as provided by sub-paragraph (e), the steady amber signal indicates the same as the red signal except that if a vehicle is so close to the stop line that it cannot safely be stopped without proceeding beyond the stop line, the steady amber signal means the same as the green signal or green arrow signal that was shown immediately before it;

(d) except as provided by sub-paragraph (e), the red signal indicates that vehicular traffic must not proceed beyond the stop line;

(e) if a vehicle is being used for emergency purposes and the observance of the steady amber or the red signal in accordance with sub-paragraph (c) or (d) would be likely to hinder the use of that vehicle, those sub-paragraphs do not apply to the vehicle, and the steady amber and the red signal indicate that the vehicle may proceed beyond the stop line if –

(i) the driver gives right of way to pedestrians who are on the part of the carriageway that lies within the limits of the crossing or on a central reservation that lies between 2 crossings not forming part of a system of staggered crossings; and

(ii) it is safe to do so;

(f) the flashing amber signal means that –

(i) traffic may proceed through the crossing; but

(ii) a pedestrian who is on the carriageway or a central reservation within the limits of the crossing (except a central reservation lying between 2 crossings forming part of a system of staggered crossings) before any part of a vehicle has entered those limits, has right of way within those limits over that vehicle, and the driver of the vehicle must give way to the pedestrian.

(2) Vehicular traffic proceeding beyond a stop line in accordance with paragraph (1) must proceed with due regard to the safety of other road users and subject to a direction given by a traffic controller or to any other applicable prohibition or restriction.

(3) The highway authority may place other primary or secondary signals at a pelican crossing as it thinks fit.

(4) In this Article, references to the “stop line” in relation to a pelican crossing where the stop line is not visible to vehicular traffic as it approaches the crossing are to be treated as references to the post or other structure on which the primary signal is mounted.

42 Warning lights at school crossing places

(1) A sign for conveying a warning to vehicular traffic that a school crossing place is ahead and is being patrolled by a school crossing patrol or is otherwise in use by children –

(a) must be a light signal of the size, colour and type shown in diagram 4004, and each lamp must show an intermittent amber light that flashes at a rate of at least 60 and at most 90 flashes per minute in a manner that 1 light is always shown when the other light is not shown; and

(b) may be erected on or near part of the road before a school crossing place in relation to oncoming traffic.

(2) A sign shown in diagram 674J or 674.1J may be used as an alternative to a sign shown in diagram 545 or 4004.

43 Placing of light signals

(1) The light signals prescribed by Articles 34, 35, 36, 39 and 40 and the warning lights prescribed by Article 42 may be placed on or near a road only if they are placed so that they face the stream of traffic to which they are intended to convey the warnings, information, requirements, restrictions or prohibitions prescribed by this Order.

(2) The light signals prescribed by Article 34(1) may be placed only in conjunction with the road marking shown in diagram 1001, 1001.2A or 1001.2B unless works that necessitate the temporary removal of that road marking are being executed on a road near the light signals.

(3) The light signals of the kinds prescribed by Article 34(1) or 35 may be placed on or near a road to face traffic proceeding in a particular direction only if –

(a) at least 2 identical sets of signals are placed to face traffic proceeding in that direction; and

(b) at least 1 of those sets of signals is a set of primary signals.

Part 6

Crossings: additional provisions

44 Pedestrians must not delay on crossings

A pedestrian must not remain on the carriageway within the limits of a crossing longer than is needed for that pedestrian to pass over the crossing without unnecessary delay.

45 Right of way of pedestrians or cyclists over vehicles at zebra crossings

(1) A pedestrian or a cyclist who is on the carriageway, within the limits of a zebra crossing that is controlled by a traffic controller, has right of way over any vehicle that has not yet entered those limits.

(2) If there is a refuge for pedestrians or a central reservation on a zebra crossing, the parts of the crossing situated on each side of the refuge for pedestrians or central reservation must be treated as separate crossings for the purposes of this Article.

46 Right of way of pedestrians over vehicles at pelican crossings

When the vehicular light signals at a pelican crossing are showing the flashing amber signal, a pedestrian who is on the carriageway or a central reservation within the limits of the crossing (except a central reservation forming part of a system of staggered crossings) has right of way over any vehicle that has not yet entered those limits.
