Traffic
signals
In
most cases, in addition to the primary signals at the stop line,there
are duplicate signals, known as secondary signals, locatedon the opposite
side of the junction. If the primary signal is notworking, you must
obey the secondary signal as if it were theprimary signal.
| GREEN
means go IF THE WAY IS CLEAR. Take extra care if you intend to turn
left or right, and give way to pedestrians who are crossing |
AMBER
means STOP. You may go on only if the amber appears after you have
crossed the stop line or are so close to it that to pull up might
cause an accident |
Although you may turn right on a full green signal,
a right-turn GREEN ARROW showing at the same time indicates that turning
right shouldbe easier. Always check that opposing traffic has stopped
before proceeding. If the full green is replaced by an ahead or left-turn
arrow,you must wait until the right-turn arrow shows before you turn
right
| Signs
may be placed with signals to qualify the meaning of the full
green signal where movements through a junction are restricted |
If
movement is allowed in one direction only, the full green signal
is normally replaced by a green arrow. This may be supplemented
by a sign to reinforce the message |
| If
a green arrow is shown with a red signal and the way is clear,
you may go, but only in the direction shown by the arrow |
Additional
white light signals may be provided for tram drivers |
| Light
signals for the control of pedal cycles. RED, AMBER and GREEN
have the same meaning as at normal traffic signals |
In
addition to level crossings, these signals may be used at other
locations, such as lifting bridges, airfields or fire stations.
When the RED lights are flashing you must stop. AMBER has the
same meaning as at normal traffic signals |
