TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND WHAT THEY MEAN

Red means stop.

Wait behind the stop

line on the carriageway

until the green shows.

Red & amber also

means stop. Do not

pass the stop line

until the green shows.

Green means

go if the

way is clear.

Amber means

stop. You may only

go on 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.

Signs may also be placed

with traffic signals to qualify

the meaning of the green

signal by prohibiting a turning

movement or instructing

traffic to move only in a

certain direction.

Additional white

light signals may

be provided for

tram drivers.

If movement is allowed only in one direction,

a green arrow pointing in that direction may

replace the full green signal. Again, signs

may be used with these signals to reinforce

the message of the green arrows.

Green arrows may also be provided in addtion to the full green

signal if movement in a certain direction is allowed before or

after the full green phase. If the way is clear, you may proceed,

but only in the direction shown by the green arrow. You may do

this whatever other signals may be showing.

When the green arrow and full green signal are shown, you

may turn right while opposing traffic is held at a red signal.

At the same time, the full green signal allows the movement of

traffic in other directions.
