Flashing yellow traffic light. Additional green arrow and green signal


Modern traffic lights, according to traffic rules, can have four different signals. Three of them are well known even to small children - red, yellow and green, but traffic controllers with a light moon-colored area may be encountered.

Traffic light signals, depending on their purpose, can be round or X-shaped, and include pictures of bicycles, arrows and silhouettes of pedestrians.

Often these devices are equipped with one or two auxiliary areas with an alert in the form of a green arrow located at the level of the round signal.

Depending on the purpose of the traffic light, there are two types: for cars and pedestrians. The signal device in the circle format includes three sections - red, green and yellow. It regulates movement in all possible directions. These signal poles with rounded color elements can also accommodate additional sections, often located in the green signal segment. The arrows on these auxiliary areas point to the direction to travel, which is different from the main green light area (often there is an arrow pointing left and right).

To regulate the movement of pedestrians and citizens on bicycles, appropriate types of devices are used. In order to distinguish where a traffic light is located, images of a person walking and a person standing still are printed on its lenses. These regulators are presented in two sections. The red signal, which is prohibitive, gives top part, and the lower section, which allows movement, accordingly gives a green signal.

Movement on the reverse part of the road is regulated by an X-shaped traffic light. This area The roadway is marked 1.9.

The three departments of the traffic controller may have the following designations:

  • a green signal gives permission for further movement;
  • flickering green allows movement and indicates that the period of its validity is ending, and a prohibitory notification will soon turn on (in order to let the motorist know the length of time, measured in seconds, that remains until the end of the flickering green signal, it is possible to use a digital display);
  • a yellow light indicates a traffic ban, with the exception of situations described in paragraph 6.14 of the traffic rules, and gives a warning that the signals will soon change;
  • flashing yellow allows movement and informs about danger and that the zebra crossing or intersection is in an unregulated state;
  • A red signal, as well as a red flashing signal, indicates that movement is not permitted.

When red and yellow symbols are combined, this symbolizes a traffic ban and notifies that the green color will soon turn on.

The cyclic mode of operation of traffic lights is adjusted so that the intersection of pedestrian and vehicle traffic in a single phase is excluded. This means that when a permissive signal appears for one movement, then for the second direction that intersects with it, there will be a signal indicating that movement is prohibited.

Yellow and red signals at traffic lights do not allow movement, but green, on the contrary, gives the go-ahead.

The green color without any additional compartments allows movement in any direction in a situation where other restrictive measures in the form of signs or markings are not introduced. For example, if a traffic light is installed near an intersection, then a prohibitory sign 3.19 may be located nearby - a turn is prohibited, or, for example, one of the corresponding signs that allows movement in one direction indicated on the corresponding sign.

A yellow traffic light carries information that the signals will change and movement is prohibited, except for the moments prescribed by clause 6.14 of the traffic rules.

At night, three-color traffic lights often turn off and switch to yellow flashing mode. In this case this part The road regulated by this device is controlled using road signs. When the movement of a traffic light on the roadway is coordinated and the flashing yellow light is activated, then this road intersection will be unregulated, and drivers should rely on the features of crossing intersections without regulation and traffic rules regarding installed signs.

A red light, as well as a red light starting to flash, and a combination of yellow and red, indicate that movement is prohibited. When the colors yellow and red are combined, it informs drivers about the nearest green signal. And a red flashing traffic light sign is always installed at intersections near the railway.

Traffic lights, which look like arrows of three different colors, carry the same meaning as the corresponding round signals, but they differ in that their action is provided only for the selected direction. Keep in mind that the arrow that allows you to move to the right also allows you to turn, unless, of course, this is prohibited by a sign at the side of the road that corresponds to it.

The green arrow in the additional section also has this designation. When the signal of an additional section is activated or its red light circuit is deactivated, this indicates a prohibition of movement in the direction that this section regulates.

The traffic controllers, showing the direction of movement on their 3 signal lenses, have arrows drawn on them; they coordinate the movement of the lanes above which such traffic lights are located. This type of traffic light corresponds to a conventional device, the difference of which is that it operates exclusively on a specific lane or group of lanes. During the signal of an additional traffic light, you can move along the direction of the arrow, if it is, of course, turned on. In this case, you must follow this rule: when the green arrow of the additional area works parallel to the red one in the main section of the traffic light, then when driving you should give way to the roadway to a car moving in the other direction. This is prescribed by paragraph 13.5 of the traffic rules.

When there is a black arrow outline on the main green traffic light section, it informs drivers about the presence of an additional section, which gives instructions for access in other directions of movement.

In the daytime, the additional section of the traffic light is clearly visible, and in the dark period of the day it merges with the corresponding background that surrounds it, which can falsely indicate to drivers its presence at the traffic light.

The green signal on the traffic controller allows movement for pedestrians and bicycle owners, while the red one prohibits it. To streamline the movement of passengers on bicycles, devices with reduced lenses are sometimes used round shape or a rectangular white sign with a black bicycle on it.

Regulators for cyclists and ordinary passengers are divided into two sections, which depict a human silhouette and a bicycle. The upper, red section prohibits movement, and the lower, green section allows movement.


Not all points of the traffic rules are equally clear to a novice driver. The rules for driving through intersections with an additional traffic light section cause a lot of difficulties. We will analyze them both in general and with specific examples.

Traffic light with additional section

Traffic lights with additional sections must be distinguished from directional traffic lights. The arrows on the latter indicate a ban, permission to move in a certain lane or group of lanes. Each arrow is responsible only for movement in “its” lane. An additional section at a traffic light is responsible for turning from the main lane to the right or left. Such traffic lights are needed to relieve congestion at busy intersections: they tell the driver when he can move on. For experienced car owners, such a device is an excellent assistant.

Driving rules depend on the combination of illuminated sections. We have in front of us a traffic light with round signal windows. At the green signal level, such a device has either one or two additional sections.

We are interested in three situations:

  1. The additional window is disabled.
  2. The additional window lights up along with the green traffic light.
  3. The additional window lights up along with a red prohibiting signal.

From traffic rules

Let's consider the important traffic rules for us in this situation:

  • Arrows of red, yellow, green colors are equivalent to the corresponding round sections. They are only responsible for movement in the directions indicated on them.
  • An arrow indicating a left turn also allows you to make a U-turn, unless this is prohibited by a specific situation.
  • If green arrow lights up together with the red or yellow main signal, then when turning you need to give way to vehicles moving in priority.
  • If a tram moves to the arrow signal allowing movement when the main section is lit red or yellow, it must also give way to other road users.

Additional section prohibits movement

Let's start looking at the rules for driving through traffic lights with an additional section.

If the side window is not lit or glows red, then movement in the direction indicated by the arrow on it is prohibited! In this case, it does not matter what color the main display lights up, or in which direction the additional section points. If it is turned off, then this is a sign

Additional green arrow and green signal

Here we have two states of affairs:

  • A traffic light with one side arrow - right or left.
  • A traffic light with two side arrows - both right and left.

The right arrow is responsible for turning right, the left arrow, respectively, for turning left.

There are also two situations in which the rules for passing a traffic light with an additional section to the right or to the left are not completely clear. They depend on the ability to turn in both directions. Let's look at each in more detail:

  • Right additional arrow and main green enable signal. You are allowed to turn right. In this case, you need to give way only to pedestrians moving along the roadway you are about to enter. But since the work of traffic lights for pedestrians and drivers is coordinated, then, most likely, a prohibitory red light will be on for them while you are driving.
  • Left additional arrow and main red prohibition signal. Let's now look at the rules for driving through a traffic light with an additional "left" section. In this state of affairs, you are allowed to turn left. There should be no obstacles on the way; you don’t need to give way. In our right-hand drive country, the left side will be more unloading. Other traffic participants have no right to drive in the direction of your turn according to traffic regulations. But at the same time, remember the exception - if a vehicle moves straight ahead or to the right in the oncoming traffic, you must give way to it.

Additional green arrow and red signal

If you see a green additional arrow to the right or left in front of you, but the traffic light is red, then this means one thing: you can make a turn in the indicated direction, but at the same time give way to traffic participants traveling in other directions.

When passing the additional traffic light section, here are the following:

  • Give way (do not interfere with traffic). This means that you should not start, continue or resume driving if this requires drivers of other vehicles to reduce speed or change direction. In other words, if as a result of your maneuver someone was forced to slow down and change the trajectory of their car, then you violated the traffic rules.
  • The rules do not stipulate which transport approaching from exactly where you must provide free way- approaching from the right, from the left, from the oncoming lane. Therefore, the green additional section and the red signal are most easily regarded as a “Give way” sign (2.4).

This situation is regulated by clause 13.5 of the Traffic Regulations.

The combination of the green additional section and the main red signal only shows you the possibility of moving in a given direction. The priority right of passage here is not yours, but that of the driver in front of whom two green lights are on - an additional and a main one.

Traffic light with an additional section: rules for driving straight ahead

It is possible to move straight ahead, seeing a traffic light with additional arrows in front of you:

  • If the main traffic light is green.
  • If the main green signal is on and the additional arrow is on green along with it.

In the case when the main signal is red prohibiting, and the arrow glows green, you naturally cannot move. These are the simple rules for driving straight to a traffic light with an additional section.

Additional section without arrow marking

The rules for driving through a traffic light with an additional section do not always describe the following situation: the current device has side windows, but the arrows on them do not light up. What to do in this case?

So, you approach an intersection, the main green light comes on, and the side section is inactive at this time (that is, it does not glow either red or green). In this case, you simply calmly perform the maneuver you need.

Traffic police mistakes

Many novice drivers, who are not thoroughly familiar with the rules for driving through traffic lights with an additional section, become victims of unscrupulous road inspectors.

A typical situation is as follows: a traffic light with an additional section is installed at an intersection. But the window is “wrong” - it also glows red and green, but there is no contour arrow on it indicating in which direction movement is allowed. The driver, seeing that the main light is green, decides that a turn is now possible, and hurries to make the maneuver, not paying attention to the incomprehensible additional window. At this moment, road inspectors stop him.

The charge is as follows: driving on a prohibited road. But at this moment the traffic policeman will be wrong - demand that a protocol be drawn up. Since only traffic lights with an additional section with an outline arrow indicating which direction at the intersection is prohibited or allowed to move are mandatory for the driver. He should not solve the “wrong” sections that glow with solid light.

Traffic lights with green arrow

Continuing the topic, we cannot help but consider another type of traffic lights that appeared quite recently. This is a regular three-color device, where a sign with a graphically depicted green arrow is attached at the level of the prohibitive red section. This innovation is regulated by clause 20.1 and clause 58.4 of the Traffic Regulations.

Let's look at them in more detail:

  • At the red signal level there is a sign with a green arrow to the right. In this case, you need to stop the car at the red signal. You are then allowed, after making sure that the maneuver is safe, to carefully continue moving in the direction of the arrow. In this case, you can move only from the far right lane, without creating obstacles for other vehicles, whose movement in this case is a priority. Give way to all pedestrians walking towards the permitting signal before the maneuver.
  • At the red signal level there is a sign with a green arrow to the left(One Way). You should also stop the vehicle before turning on the red signal, and then, taking precautions, it is possible to maneuver to the left. Driving is possible only after stopping and only from the leftmost lane. Before the maneuver, it is necessary to allow pedestrians and other vehicles, whose movement is now a priority, to pass.

Here we have looked at all the features and nuances of driving at a traffic light with additional sections. Such devices do not complicate, but rather facilitate movement, only at first causing confusion in the driver’s head.

6.1. They are used in traffic lights light signals green, yellow, red and moon-white.

Depending on the purpose, traffic light signals can be round, in the form of an arrow(s), a silhouette of a pedestrian or a bicycle, or X-shaped.

Traffic lights with round signals may have one or two additional sections with signals in the form of a green arrow(s), which are located at the level of the green round signal.

Depending on their purpose, traffic lights are divided into transport and pedestrian. A transport traffic light with round signals, consisting of three sections (red, yellow, green), regulates all directions: straight, right, left and turning (in the opposite direction).

Such traffic lights with round signals (red, yellow, green) may have additional sections located at the level of the green signal. Arrows or combinations of arrows on these additional sections indicate directions other than the main green section of the traffic light (most often a left arrow in the left section, and a right arrow in the right section).

Pedestrian and bicycle traffic lights are used to regulate the movement of pedestrians and cyclists. The lenses of these traffic lights are imprinted with the silhouettes of a pedestrian and a bicycle, respectively. These traffic lights have two sections: the upper section is a red signal prohibiting traffic, the lower section is a green signal allowing movement.

X-shaped traffic lights regulate traffic on a reversible lane (a strip on the roadway in which the direction of traffic can change to the opposite direction and vice versa). The reversible lane on the roadway is indicated.

6.2. Round traffic lights have the following meanings:

  • Green signal allows movement;
  • Green flashing signal allows movement and informs that its validity period is expiring and a prohibitory signal will soon be turned on (digital displays can be used to inform drivers about the time in seconds remaining until the end of the green signal);
  • Yellow signal prohibits movement, except for the cases provided for in paragraph 6.14 of the Rules, and warns about the upcoming change of signals;
  • Yellow flashing signal allows traffic and informs about the presence of an uncontrolled intersection or pedestrian crossing, warns about danger;
  • Red signal, including flashing, prohibits movement.

The combination of red and yellow signals prohibits movement and informs about the upcoming activation of the green signal.

The operating cycle of traffic lights is adjusted in such a way as to exclude the intersection of traffic and pedestrian flows in the same phase. This means that if the permissive signal is on for one direction, then the prohibiting signal will be on in the direction being crossed.

Red and yellow traffic lights prohibit movement, green signals allow movement.

A green traffic light without an additional section allows traffic in all directions unless additional restrictions are introduced by signs and (or) markings. For example, when a traffic light is installed in front of an intersection, a prohibitory sign or, for example, one of the mandatory signs may be installed nearby, which allow movement only in the direction indicated by the arrow on the sign.

A yellow traffic light warns of a change of signals and prohibits movement, except for the cases specified in paragraph 6.14 of the traffic rules (more on this below).

At night, three-color traffic lights are often turned off and switched to flashing yellow mode. In this case, the section of the road that is regulated by a traffic light is considered unregulated. If a traffic light regulates traffic at an intersection and operates in the yellow flashing signal mode, then the intersection is considered unregulated, and drivers must be guided by the requirements established at the intersection.

A red signal, including a flashing one, or a combination of red and yellow signals prohibit movement. The combination of red and yellow lights informs drivers that the green light will soon turn on. A red flashing signal is usually used in traffic lights installed in front of a railway crossing.

6.3. Traffic light signals, made in the form of red, yellow and green arrows, have the same meaning as round signals of the corresponding color, but their effect extends only to the direction(s) indicated by the arrows. In this case, the arrow allowing a left turn also allows a U-turn, unless this is prohibited by the corresponding road sign.

The green arrow in the additional section has the same meaning. A switched off signal of an additional section or a switched on red light signal of its outline means that movement in the direction regulated by this section is prohibited.

Two varieties are considered here transport traffic lights: directional traffic lights and traffic lights with an additional section.

Directional traffic lights have arrows on all three lenses of the main signals. These traffic lights are used to regulate traffic in the lanes above which they are located. Directional traffic light signals are similar to those of a regular traffic light, only they act on a specific lane or group of lanes in the same direction.

Following signals in the additional section of the traffic light, you can move in the direction of the arrow only if it is turned on. It is important to follow the rule: if the green arrow in the additional section is turned on simultaneously with the red signal of the main section of the traffic light, then when moving in the direction of the green arrow, you must give way to vehicles coming from other directions. This rule is reflected in.

Permitted directions of movement when various signals traffic light with one additional section.

Permitted directions of movement at different traffic lights with two additional sections.

6.4. If a black contour arrow(s) is applied to the main green traffic light signal, it informs drivers about the presence of an additional section of the traffic light and indicates other permitted directions of movement than the additional section signal.

During the day, the additional section at the traffic light is clearly visible, but at night its body may blend into the surrounding dark background, and until the signal (arrow) in the additional section lights up, road users may not see that the traffic light is equipped with an additional section. But the section at the traffic light was not installed by chance - it regulates one of the directions of movement.

For these purposes, a black contour arrow(s) is applied to the lens of the main green signal so that dark time day, drivers could understand that the traffic light has an additional section.

6.5. If a traffic light signal is made in the form of a silhouette of a pedestrian and (or) a bicycle, then its effect applies only to pedestrians (cyclists). In this case, the green signal allows, and the red signal prohibits, the movement of pedestrians (cyclists).

To regulate the movement of cyclists, a traffic light with round signals of reduced size, complemented by a rectangular sign, can also be used white 200 x 200 mm in size with a picture of a black bicycle.

Pedestrian and bicycle traffic lights each have two sections; the lenses usually depict the silhouettes of a man and a bicycle, respectively. The upper section with a red signal prohibits movement, the lower section with a green signal allows movement.

In some cases, for example, when cycling is carried out along a designated bike path, to regulate it, small three-section traffic lights (red, yellow, green) can be used together with a white plate 200x200 mm, on which a bicycle is depicted in black.

6.6. To inform blind pedestrians about the possibility of crossing the roadway, traffic light signals can be supplemented with an audible signal.

When in the traffic light area you can hear sound signal (similar phenomenon can be found at controlled pedestrian crossings, more often outside the intersection), then blind pedestrians may often appear in such a place, and this sound signal is intended for them.

But the reality is that the markings may not be visible on the roadway (erased, under snow, etc.), the 6.16 sign may be missing. Immediately behind the traffic light there may be a pedestrian crossing zone across the roadway, bordering directly on the roadway being intersected.

If you stop at a pedestrian crossing, you will interfere with pedestrians; if you stop behind a pedestrian crossing, you can interfere with cars passing along the road you are crossing.

Therefore, taking into account the realities of the road situation, when there is no stop line sign or marking, the most best option To stop at a prohibitory signal, there will be a traffic light line in front of the intersection. Ideally, you need to get close to the line on which the traffic light is located so that its signals are visible.

6.14. Drivers who, when the yellow signal turns on or the traffic controller raises his hand up, cannot stop without resorting to emergency braking in the places determined by paragraph 6.13 of the Rules, are allowed to continue driving.

Pedestrians who were on the roadway when the signal was given must clear it, and if this is not possible, stop on the line separating traffic flows. opposite directions.

If at the approach to a traffic light the green signal changes to yellow, and the speed of your car does not allow you to stop without applying emergency braking, then paragraph 6.14 of the traffic rules in this case allows you to continue driving. Many drivers use this rule not for its intended purpose, but in order to “have time to pass” for the reason that “they don’t want to wait.”

As practice shows, it may happen that on the road being crossed some “in a hurry” will not want to wait for his permission signal and will start on his yellow light. How such situations usually end can be read in. There are also videos on this topic.

It’s more difficult for pedestrians; not everyone can cross the road quickly, especially if the roadway is very wide. Therefore, those of them who did not manage to cross the roadway before the red signal for pedestrians turned on, the Rules allow them to stop on the line dividing oncoming traffic flows.

6.15. Drivers and pedestrians must comply with the signals and orders of the traffic controller, even if they contradict traffic light signals, road signs or markings.

If the meanings of traffic light signals contradict the requirements of priority road signs, drivers must be guided by the traffic light signals.

Priority signs installed together with a traffic light are only valid when the traffic lights are not working (turned off) or when they have a yellow flashing signal.

Traffic lights operating in the (red - yellow - green) mode cancel the priority signs. In such situations, drivers should behave as if there are no priority signs, i.e. obey traffic light signals only.

If traffic is controlled by a traffic controller, then his actions have the highest priority. His instructions on the driving order for drivers are mandatory in any case, even if they contradict traffic lights, signs and road markings.

The traffic controller in the process of controlling traffic on a section of the road is the main one, and the traffic controller does not necessarily have to be a police officer. According to the definition, may include employees of road maintenance services, those on duty at railway crossings and ferry crossings in the performance of their official duties .

6.16. At railway crossings, simultaneously with the red flashing traffic light, an audible signal may be sounded, additionally informing traffic participants that movement through the crossing is prohibited.

At a railway crossing, when the red flashing traffic light turns on, a bell usually sounds. It turns on simultaneously with the traffic light shortly before the barrier closes, thereby additionally attracting the attention of those approaching that the crossing over the railway tracks is closed.

6.1. Traffic lights use green, yellow, red and white-lunar light signals.

Depending on the purpose, traffic light signals can be round, in the form of an arrow(s), a silhouette of a pedestrian or a bicycle, or X-shaped.

Traffic lights with round signals may have one or two additional sections with signals in the form of a green arrow(s), which are located at the level of the green round signal.

6.2. Round traffic lights have the following meanings:

  • GREEN SIGNAL allows movement;
  • GREEN FLASHING SIGNAL allows movement and informs that its validity period is expiring and a prohibitory signal will soon be turned on (digital displays can be used to inform drivers about the time in seconds remaining until the end of the green signal);
  • YELLOW SIGNAL prohibits movement, except for the cases provided for in paragraph 6.14 of the Rules, and warns about the upcoming change of signals;
  • YELLOW FLASHING SIGNAL allows traffic and informs about the presence of an uncontrolled intersection or pedestrian crossing, warns about danger;
  • RED SIGNAL, including flashing, prohibits movement.

The combination of red and yellow signals prohibits movement and informs about the upcoming activation of the green signal.

6.3. Traffic light signals, made in the form of red, yellow and green arrows, have the same meaning as round signals of the corresponding color, but their effect extends only to the direction(s) indicated by the arrows. In this case, the arrow allowing a left turn also allows a U-turn, unless this is prohibited by the corresponding road sign.

The green arrow in the additional section has the same meaning. A switched off signal of an additional section or a switched on red light signal of its outline means that movement in the direction regulated by this section is prohibited.

6.4. If a black contour arrow(s) is applied to the main green traffic light signal, it informs drivers about the presence of an additional section of the traffic light and indicates other permitted directions of movement than the additional section signal.

6.5. If a traffic light signal is made in the form of a silhouette of a pedestrian and (or) a bicycle, then its effect applies only to pedestrians (cyclists). In this case, the green signal allows, and the red signal prohibits, the movement of pedestrians (cyclists).

To regulate the movement of cyclists, a traffic light with round signals of reduced size, complemented by a white rectangular plate measuring 200 x 200 mm with a black bicycle image, can also be used.

6.6. To inform blind pedestrians about the possibility of crossing the roadway, traffic light signals can be supplemented with an audible signal.

6.7. To regulate the movement of vehicles along lanes of the roadway, in particular along those in which the direction of movement can change to the opposite, reversible traffic lights with a red X-shaped signal and a green signal in the form of an arrow pointing downwards are used. These signals respectively prohibit or allow movement in the lane above which they are located.

The main signals of a reversible traffic light can be supplemented by a yellow signal in the form of an arrow, tilted diagonally down to the right or left, the inclusion of which informs about the upcoming change of signal and the need to change lanes to which the arrow points.

When the signals of the reversing traffic light, which is located above the lane marked on both sides by markings 1.9, are turned off, entry into this lane is prohibited.

6.8. To regulate the movement of trams, as well as other route vehicles moving along the lane allocated for them, single-color traffic lights with four round white-moon colored signals located in the shape of the letter “T” can be used. Movement is permitted only when the lower signal and one or more upper ones are turned on simultaneously, of which the left one allows movement to the left, the middle one allows movement straight, and the right one allows movement to the right. If only the top three signals are on, then movement is prohibited.

6.9. A round white-lunar flashing signal located at a railroad crossing allows vehicles to move through the crossing. When the flashing white-lunar and red signals are turned off, movement is permitted if there is no train (locomotive, handcar) approaching the crossing within sight.

6.10. The traffic controller signals have the following meanings:

  • HANDS ARE EXTENDED TO THE SIDE OR LOWERED:

    from the left and right sides, the tram is allowed to move straight, trackless vehicles straight and to the right, pedestrians are allowed to cross the roadway;

    from the chest and back, the movement of all vehicles and pedestrians is prohibited.

  • RIGHT ARMS EXTRACTED FORWARD:

    from the left side, trams are allowed to move to the left, and trackless vehicles in all directions;

    from the chest side, all vehicles are allowed to move only to the right;

    from the right side and back, the movement of all vehicles is prohibited;

    Pedestrians are allowed to cross the road behind the traffic controller.

  • ARM RAISED UP:

    the movement of all vehicles and pedestrians is prohibited in all directions, except as provided for in paragraph 6.14 of the Rules.

The traffic controller can give hand gestures and other signals that are understandable to drivers and pedestrians.

For better visibility of signals, the traffic controller can use a rod or disk with a red signal (retroreflector).

6.11. A request to stop a vehicle is made using a loudspeaker device or a hand gesture directed at the vehicle. The driver must stop at the place indicated to him.

6.12. An additional whistle signal is given to attract the attention of traffic participants.

Pedestrians who were on the roadway when the signal was given must clear it, and if this is not possible, stop on the line dividing traffic flows in opposite directions.

6.15. Drivers and pedestrians must comply with the signals and orders of the traffic controller, even if they contradict traffic light signals, road signs or markings.

If the meanings of traffic light signals contradict the requirements of priority road signs, drivers must be guided by the traffic light signals.

6.16. At railway crossings, simultaneously with the red flashing traffic light, an audible signal may be sounded, additionally informing traffic participants that movement through the crossing is prohibited.

  • GREEN the signal allows movement;
  • GREEN FLASHING the signal allows movement and informs that its duration is expiring and a prohibiting signal will soon be turned on (digital displays can be used to inform drivers about the time in seconds remaining until the end of the green signal);
  • YELLOW the signal prohibits movement, except as provided for in paragraph 6.14 of the Rules, and warns of the upcoming change of signals;
  • YELLOW FLASHING the signal allows movement and informs about the presence of an unregulated intersection or pedestrian crossing, warns of danger;
  • RED a signal, including a flashing one, prohibits movement.
  • Combination RED And YELLOW signals prohibits movement and informs about the upcoming turning on of the green signal.

What does a flashing green traffic light mean?

Answer. To inform drivers about the upcoming change of the green traffic light to yellow, the Rules provide for the possibility of flashing the green signal. This signal allows the vehicle to move. The blinking duration should be 3 seconds.

1. Give way to the tram.
2. Go through the intersection first.
3. Wait for the permission signal from a special traffic light and only then turn.

Answer. A green traffic light allows you to turn left. The movement of the tram at this intersection is regulated by a single-color traffic light in the form of the letter “T”. Considering that with such a signal the tram is prohibited from moving, you can pass the intersection first.

In what case are you obliged to give way to a tram?

Answer. The turned on turn signal informs you that the paths of your car and the tram intersect at an intersection. Considering that this signal If the traffic light simultaneously allows you and the tram driver to move, you must give way to the tram.

You intend to turn left. Your actions?

Answer. A green traffic light gives you the right to move left. In this case, you must drive in the intended direction regardless of the traffic light signal at the exit from the intersection.

You intend to turn left. Your actions?

Answer. A green traffic light gives you the right to move left. But, since at this intersection there is a stop line in front of the traffic light installed on the dividing strip, you must stop in front of it and wait for the green signal.

1. Give way to the tram.
2. Go through the intersection first.

Answer. The turned on tram turn signal informs you that the paths of your car and the tram intersect at an intersection. Considering that the green traffic light allows you to go straight, and the tram traffic light in the shape of the letter “T” prohibits the tram from turning right, you can pass the intersection first.

You intend to drive straight through the intersection. Your actions?

Answer. A green traffic light gives you and oncoming vehicles the right to move. In this case, you must give way only to the tram. An oncoming passenger car is not allowed to pass through the intersection together with a tram.

What does a flashing yellow traffic light mean?

Answer. A yellow flashing signal warns possible danger and is used to designate an unregulated intersection or pedestrian crossing.

When turning left you:

1. Must give way only to passenger cars.
2. You have the right to pass the intersection first.
3. Must give way to both vehicles.

Answer. A green traffic light gives the right to move to all vehicles. But when turning left, you must give way to a tram, which has priority over trackless vehicles, as well as to an oncoming passenger car (traffic rules 13.4).

A red flashing signal or two alternately flashing red signals of a traffic light installed at a railway crossing means:

1. Movement is permitted with extreme caution.
2. Movement Prohibition.
3. The traffic signal system is faulty.

Answer. A red flashing signal or two alternately flashing red traffic lights prohibit movement. This type of signaling is mainly used at railway crossings.

You intend to turn left. Who should give way to?

1. Only a car.
2. Only by tram.
3. Car and tram.
4. No one.

Answer. A green traffic light gives you and oncoming vehicles the right to move. Wherein,
