Flashing yellow. Traffic lights and adjustment signals - focus without errors

6.1. Traffic lights control the road movement with a red, green, yellow and white-moon color.

Depending on the transmitted command of the traffic lights generate a signal in the form of a monochrome circle, a silhouette of a bicycle or pedestrian, arrows or sign "X".
Traffic lights feeding in the form of a circle can be additionally equipped with 1 or 2 sections located on one horizontal with a round green signal and having a green arrow image.

Types of traffic lights

In its proposal traffic lights come pedestrian and transportation.
Transport traffic lights Consist of three sections that feed round signals of red, yellow and green colors. With their help, movement is regulated in all directions: left, right, directly and turn.
Transport traffic lights with signals in the form of a circle can have additional lenses placed on one horizontal with a round green signal. They serve commands in the form of one / several arrows indicating the direction that differs from the one that shows the main round green signal. These are usually arrows indicating left (left lens) or to the right (right lens).
Moving cyclists and pedestrians is adjustable respectively bicycle and pedestrian traffic lights. Their lenses have pictures of the cyclist and pedestrian figures. Traffic lights for pedestrians and cyclists consist of two sections. One (top) feeds the prohibitive red signal, the second (lower) is the allowing green.
X-shaped traffic lights Designed to control the movement with reversing (alternated movement in both directions), carried out on a special (reverse) strip designated on the road with the corresponding markup.

6.2. Traffic light serves using round signals the following commands.

Flashing green color - The movement is allowed, but soon the ban will be filed. To specify the time remaining before changing the command, digital scoreboard can be used, displaying time in seconds, which remained before changing the signal.
Yellow signal - The movement is prohibited, but the signal is shown soon. The prohibition of the movement acts in all cases with the exception of the specified in paragraph 6.14 of traffic rules.
Flashing yellow color - Movement is allowed. In addition to resolving the movement of traffic lights with a constantly flashing yellow light, inform about the unregulated transition / crossroads, and also warn the driver about the need for increased attention when entering a particularly dangerous zone.
Red permanent or flashing signal - Movement Prohibition.
The combination of yellow with red - movement is prohibited, but soon the green signal will be served.
Constantly burning yellow and red signals - movement is prohibited.

The cyclicity of the flow of traffic lights is organized in such a way that transport and pedestrian flows of different directions will not coincide in phase. That is, if the authoring signal is transmitted in one direction, it is turned on by prohibiting it - on intersecting with it.

Absence additional section Next to the green signal reports that the movement is allowed in all directions, but under one condition - if signs and / or markup do not contain additional restrictions. (For example, if at the intersection where the traffic light is installed, there is a "reversal" sign, or an prescribing sign is installed, which allows the movement in the direction that the arrow indicates on the sign (PP 4.1.1-4.1.6)).

The yellow signal speaks about the ambulance of the team and is prohibiting - with the exception of the moments specified in paragraph 6.14 of traffic rules.
At night, due to the weak transport movement, traffic lights sometimes switch from a three-color signaling mode to a yellow flashing signal mode, thus making this section of the road unregulated. When it is moving, drivers should proceed from the fact that the rules of unregulated intersections are approved on this site, determined by the established priority signs.
Constantly flashing red traffic light movement prohibits. Usually this alarm is installed before railway crossings. The combination of yellow and red colors prohibits the movement, reporting at the same time drivers that the green signal will light soon.

6.3. Three-color arrows On the Lights of the traffic lights, they have the same allowing / prohibiting value as round signals of the same color, only their action refers to the direction indicated by the arrow. The arrow, giving permission to the left turn, allows the reversal - provided that it is not prohibited by the established road sign.
An additional section with a green arrow has a similar value. That is, allows movement in the direction indicated by the arrow. If the signal of the additional section is turned off, or the red color is turned on, this reports the prohibition of movement in the direction adjustable to this section.

On all lenses of directions of directions there are images of arrow. With their help, movement is regulated on the bands that are located under these traffic lights. The traffic lights commands are no different from the signals of ordinary traffic lights - except that their action does not apply to the entire road, but only on a specific strip / stripes.

Additional section of the traffic lights allow movement in the direction where the arrows show - but only when the latter are included. At the same time, the rule of paragraph 13.5 of traffic rules is valid, which says that if at one time with the green arrow of the additional section of the primary section is lit in red, then the driver moving in the direction that the green arrow indicates, should yield the road transport that moves from other directions.

6.4. The contour black arrows depicted on the green lens of the main traffic signal report on the presence of an additional section and at the same time prescribe movement in a different direction than which the additional section shows.

The need for information about the presence of an additional section is explained by the fact that at night its body is sometimes merged with a dark background, and while its arrow will not light up, drivers may not suspect that there is an additional section.

The black arrow applied to the green lens of the main signal and reporting that there is an additional section, provides drivers with comprehensive information about all possible directions of movement.

Signals for controlling pedestrians and cyclists

6.5. The signal depicting the silhouette of a pedestrian / cyclist is relevant only for a pedestrian and a cyclist. The prohibition or permission to move is determined by the color of the signal, which has a standard value - red prohibits, green allows motion.

Cyclists movement can also be adjusted by round signals. small size. The fact that they serve to control the movement of cyclists, says a white plate size of 20h20 cm, on which the bicycle contour is applied with black lines.
Traffic lights that control the movement of cyclists and pedestrians have two sections on the lenses of which there are silhouettes of a bike and a pedestrian. The upper section with a red lens movement prohibits, lower with green - permits.

Sound signals for blind pedestrians

Sometimes color signals allowed for pedestrians allowing or prohibiting the intersection of the road are complemented by sound - to inform blind or poorly seen pedestrians.
Sound signal in the area of \u200b\u200btraffic lights (most often located on adjustable pedestrian transitions, but sometimes outside of them), suggests that blind pedestrians often appear in this zone.
According to paragraph 14.5 traffic rules, drivers are always (regardless of whether there is a pedestrian transition or not) should be skipping blind pedestrians. Usually they can be recognized on canes in hand, and it does not have to be white. A beep helps blind pedestrians better navigate in the road atmosphere.

Reversible traffic lights

6.7. The road may have reversible stripes for which movement in both directions. Such bands are marked with 1.9 (double intermittent line). The movement on them is controlled by reversing traffic lights. Moreover, the latter disseminate its effect only on the bands located under them.

Adjusting the Motion of the TC on the strips serving to move transport in 2 multidirectional directions is made using reversible traffic lights. They have two main signals - X-shaped red or green in the form of an arrow indicating down. The red signal imposes a ban on the movement along the strip, which is under it, green, respectively, allows motion.

In addition to the main signals (red and green), the reversible traffic light can have an additional yellow signal. It is an arrow located diagonally indicating down-to-left or down-topoint. The inclusion of this arrow reports the emergence of signals and requires rebuilding to the strip, indicated by the arrow.

If the reversible traffic light, which is above the band, designated on both sides by marking 1.9, is turned off, then the movement on this strip is prohibited.

"Tram traffic lights"

The movement of route TCs (trams, buses, etc.), moving along the allocated strips, can be controlled by traffic lights with round-colored lenses of white-moon color. In the people they are called "traffic lights for trams."

There are such traffic lights in the form of the letter "T" (three upper signals are located horizontally, the lower - in the center relative to the upper) and allow the movement only when the lower signal is simultaneously turned on and some of the tops. The allowed direction of movement is determined by the location of the top signal. If the left signal is turned on, then the movement is allowed to the left, if the right - right, the average is directly. If all the upper signals are turned on, and the bottom is turned off, it means that the movement is prohibited.

Tramway traffic lights Control the movement of route TCs moving along the allocated strips. According to paragraphs.13.6 and 13.11, traffic rules with the same rights with firefight TC trams in this case have an advantage. This means that if there is a signal on the "tram" traffic light, simultaneously resolving the movement of a fine vehicle and tram, then the driver of the fine vehicle should skip the tram.

This rule is valid and then when the "tram" traffic light is adjacent to the usual tricolor. That is, the tram and here has an advantage in motion in front of fire-free vehicles. In order not to arise the contradictions in the interpretation of signals of ordinary and "tram" traffic lights, all drivers, no matter what transport they manage, should know what the white-lunar signals of T-shaped traffic lights mean.

Signals supplied by traffic lights on railway crossings

6.9. The white-moon flashing traffic signal allows moving movement. If the red and flashing white-lunar signals are turned off, the movement is allowed only if the approaching train, locomotive or drowsine is not observed within visibility.
Traffic lights installed on railway tracks can feed the following signal combinations:
red single blinking - movement is prohibited;
two horizontally arranged red signals flashing alternately - movement is prohibited;
single white-moon flashing with a low frequency when the red signals are turned off - the movement is allowed.

If no signals are burning, the traffic light is considered non-working. This means that the railway relocation is unregulated, and its intersection requires special attention from the driver. If there are priority signs on the crossing (most often it is a sign that prohibits movement without stopping), then with a non-working traffic light, their requirement must be performed.

Control signals

For signaling signals, hand gestures are used. Other signals are possible that can be understood by pedestrians and drivers.

To improve the visibility of the signals supplied by hand, a red disk with a retroreflector can be used or a rod.
6.10. The adjustor delivers the following signals.

Hands omitted or stretched to the sides
In this case, transport and pedestrians located from the left and right side of the regulator are allowed the following movement:
fireless TC - directly and right;
tram - straight;
pedestrians - through a driving part.
Transport and pedestrians located in front and behind the controller, movement is prohibited.
Right hand stretched forward
In this case, the vehicle, which is from the left side, is allowed to move:
trams - left;
faceless TC - in any directions.
TC, located in front, you can only move right.
TC, which is right and rear, movement is prohibited.
Pedestrians can move the driving part behind the back of the controller.
Hand raised up
All TCs and pedestrians are prohibited, excluding those cases that are provided for by paragraph 6.14 of traffic rules.
For better assimilation of the signaling signals, you need to understand, first of all, the following.

There are 4 possible directions of movement relative to the regulator: right side, left side, chest, back. Two of these directions prohibit the movement, the other two are allowed.

From the back of the back, the movement is always prohibited. On the right side, the movement is prohibited if the controller extended his hand forward.
The elongated hands of the controller indicate the directions from which the movement is allowed.

Faceless TCs should move in directions specified by the position of the hands of the controller ("from the sleeve in the sleeve"). At the same time they are allowed to rotate to the right. The turn and turn left are allowed if the "hand trajectory" in the course of the TC movement indicates the turn to the left.

Tram movement is allowed only from the "sleeve sleeve" inspector.
According to paragraph 8.5 of traffic rules before performing the requirement of the inspector for a turn or turn, the driver is obliged to move to the extreme roadside. If there are signs 5.15.2 and 5.15.1 or there is a markup 1.18, which regulates the direction of movement on the bands, rebuilding for turning and turning is performed according to their instructions.
Driver actions at the command to stay

6.11. Requirement to the driver of the vehicle stop can be supplied using a loud-speaking device or hand directed towards the vehicle. In response to this requirement, the driver is obliged to stop in the place indicated.
The adjustment signals take priority to all other (road marking and signs) and must be executed regardless of the latter teams.

In response to the instruction, the driver is obliged to drive up to the place specified by the regulator or inspector, while observing all the rules. The latter means that it should turn on the signal signal, make sure that it will not be created with the other participants of the movement, drive up to the right place and stop.

It is not required to leave the car, but it is not forbidden if this, according to the driver, requires the convenience of conversation. The inspector must come to the driver of the vehicle, to introduce themselves and explain the cause of the stop.
Use whistle controller

6.12. To attract the attention of drivers and pedestrians to the control signals, a whistle can be used. It is used by an inspector regulating the movement in all complex situations that arise not only at the intersections, but on any part of the road.
Determination of the place of stop vehicle

6.13. If a prohibitive signal is served by the controller or traffic light (with the exception of reversing), drivers are required to stop transport before stop line (ZN. 6.16).

If the stop line is missing, the location of the transport stop is defined as follows:
At the crossroads. Before the roadway, the road crossing the direction in which the vehicle moves (according to paragraph 13.7 of traffic rules). In this case, pedestrians should not be created.
Before railway crossing. According to p. 15.4 traffic rules.
In other places. Before the controller or traffic light. The stopped transport should not interfere with the movement of pedestrians and the vehicle, which is allowed to move.

In places where traffic lights or regulators are controlled by movement, according to P.P. 6.2 and 6.1 of this section of drivers vehicle It is required to stop movement. The stop location is defined as follows.

First of all, you need to see if there is a markup of the stop line on the road (clause 1.12) and the corresponding Stop Line sign (6.16). According to clause 6.13, the stop must be made without check-in for the specified sign or markup border. Ignoring the driver of these requirements threatens him with a fine in accordance with Art. 12.12 Part 2 of the Administrative Code.

Sometimes the visibility of markup can be reduced due to erase, snow covered, mud or due to other circumstances, and the 6.16 sign may not be installed.

A situation is also possible when a pedestrian crossing is located directly behind the traffic lights, bordering the intersected road.
In this case, the problem of choosing a stop location arises, since the TC stop at a pedestrian crossing will be interfered with pedestrians, and stopping the transition will prevent transport moving along the intersected road.

The correct solution in this case will be stopped on the lines of the location of the traffic light, or, even better, it should be stopped, a little without reaching the line - so that the traffic lights can be seen.

Actions of drivers and pedestrians in response to a yellow traffic light signal

6.14. Drivers who served a yellow traffic light signal (or equivalent to raise the hand of the controller), must stop. But if the vehicle is moving quickly, and the stop is impossible without emergency braking, then in places that are defined by clause 6.13 of the traffic rules, you can not stop.

Pedestrians, which the signal found on the roadway, should be released. If it is impossible to do this, they need to stop on the line dividing the multidirectional transport streams.

If the green traffic light signal is replaced by yellow, and the vehicle has a high speed of movement, which does not allow you to stop in the right place without emergency braking, the driver is given right in accordance with clause 6.14 to continue the movement. The presence of this rule encourages some drivers to pass on the yellow light light of the traffic light even if they can stop without forced braking.

Such behavior carries a potential danger, because it happens that at the intersectable direction at this time, another driver begins to move, without waiting until the yellow signal of its traffic light changes is resolved green. The result of such a situation is an accident, which drivers saving time to the detriment of security.

Pedestrians may fall into a difficult situation when changing the resolution signals for prohibiting much more often. Especially those of them who are not able to quickly run the way or return back. The only acceptable safe option for them is to stay on the line dividing the multidirectional transport streams.

Signal priorities

6.15. Pedestrians and drivers are required to perform the requirement of the signal-supplied signal even if they are in contradiction with road signs, markup or traffic lights.

If road signs with traffic lights come into contradiction, then the priority has the latter. That is, drivers in such cases should flow according to traffic lights.

Road signs priority Act when the traffic light is turned off or transfers a flashing yellow signal.

Traffic lights working in as usual mode Red-yellow-green shifts, cancel the priority signs set. Drivers in this case must ignore the priority signs and perform only the signals submitted by the traffic light.

The actions of the inspector regulating the road movement are endowed with the highest priority with respect to road signs, markup and traffic lights. The commanders commanders are required for drivers even with their contradiction to other signals and commands, submitted marking, signs or traffic lights.

The traffic controller does not have to be the police officers. It may be on duty on the ferry crossing or railway moving, an employee of the road-operating service. The main thing is that them at this time fulfilled their official responsibilities.
Beep on railway crossings

6.16. On railway moving together with a flashing red traffic signal, a beep is sometimes served as an additional command that prohibits moving through the move. Usually, such a signal represents a call that attracts the attention of driving / suitable drivers and pedestrians and warning them that the path through the railway relocation is closed. The call is turned on before closing the barrier simultaneously with the traffic light.

One of the main means of road traffic management are traffic lights. Cars crossing are required to drive exclusively on data instructions optical devices. Such an orderly road Minimizes the possibility of an accident.

Traffic signals are a means of organizing road traffic. In exceptional cases, namely, when the device works in freelance mode, the controller is engaged in coordinating the movement of the car.

Light signals

For the first time, the traffic light (semaphor) was installed in London and switched manually. Time, as they say, does not stand still. Everything is updated, develops, and traffic lights including. To date, we are more familiar to see it as a device installed on the road. Traffic lights - red, yellow and green, familiar to everyone.

The most familiar is the street traffic light (photo at the top); Not only drivers are focused on its signals, but also pedestrians. However, in addition to such means of organizing traffic, there are other types used on rivers and so on.

Views

Traffic lights are divided into the following types:

• Street.

Automotive (round);

Shooter;

With a flashing red signal;

Installed on railway moving;

Reversible;

Adapted for pedestrians, cyclists, route vehicles;

Tram.

• Railway.
• River.
• For motor racing.

Traffic lights for street transport - Round

Each of us as a child was taught to navigate the signals. The most familiar source is a three-color round light, adorning adjustable intersection and regulating motor vehicles and pedestrians.

What traffic will receive traffic lights?

• Red. Forbids starting traveling / passing the crossroads. The flashing signal of this color has the same value.
• Yellow blinking - movement is allowed. However, warns the danger at the intersection. Also can inform the participants of the movement that the traffic light does not work. If there is an adjustor at the crossroads, then the passage is carried out according to its instructions.
• Yellow. The traffic light reports that the movement is prohibited and informs about the emergency color.
• Green. Allows you to move.
• Green blinking. Does not prohibit for movement. Informs that the prohibition comes soon.

On some traffic lights, a digital scoreboard is installed for more accurate informs.

One-time sunbathing of two colors (red and yellow) tells drivers of cars, pedestrians and other participants of the movement of travel / passage, as well as that the green will turn on in the near future.

Traffic lights with additional sections and arrows

These devices are installed on more busy intersections. The traffic lights have the appearance of the arrows in the colors familiar to us: red, yellow or green, and are endowed with the same meaning as round. The difference is indicated by the direction. It is worth noting that the arrow that allows you to turn left, also allows us to turn a turn (except when the latter is prohibited by an additional road sign).

The round light, on the lenses of which the arrows are depicted above each strip. It facilitates the driver's orientation on the roadway, showing where he can go after sunbathing the resolution signal. And they are similar to the values \u200b\u200bof the usual round.

The traffic light with additional sections has another cell with an arrow indicating the direction. That is, the movement in a certain side is permitted only when this signal is green. There is another situation: at the same time it burns with green additional section and a red prohibiting signal. This means that it is allowed to start moving towards the direction of the arrow only after the vehicles passing the intersection from other directions will be missed.

With the additional section of the traffic light (photo) can be seen at the bottom.

For better orientation and exclusion of erroneous rotation on the main green lens, a black contour arrow is depicted. Even in the dark, when the additional section is turned off at the traffic light, you can simply not be noticed, vehicle drivers will be aware of its availability.

PDD: Light reversible

In some parts of the highway at a certain time, huge congestion are collected. To speed up the movement and not to create multi-hour traffic jams, bands with reversing movement are introduced on the roads, that is, by changing the direction depending on the signal of the traffic light. Each band is its own, according to traffic rules.

The traffic light has three sections. In the first red sign "X". In the second section there is a yellow arrow, in the third - green. Accordingly, the red signal is forbidden - it allows, and yellow warns. In the second section, the direction of the arrow can change to the right or left and indicate where to be rebuilt after the resolving signal is lit. When the movement is turned off, the strips are prohibited.

Traffic lights for pedestrians and cyclists

This means of organizing motion has only two colors - it is red and green. A silhouette of a pedestrian or cyclist is depicted on the lenses. Green allows motion, red - prohibits.

To organize the passage of cyclists, a traffic light with round signals are used, under which the information plate is installed. It has the following look - a white background, on which the bike is depicted in black.

To attract attention, as well as for the blind are equipped with a beep. It is served when the green light lights up, allowing the passage passage.

TECHNICAL TERM TRANSFER

For mechanical vehicles that the separate bar is allocated, a special traffic light can be installed. It has four round lenses of the same color - white-moon. These signals are located in the form of the letter "T".

Focus on such a traffic light is simple enough. In it, three lenses are located in a row, and the fourth center at the bottom. Tram movement is allowed when sunbathing two signals simultaneously. So, for travel, the lower lens should be turned on and in the top row central. The combination of two signals informs the driver that the movement is directly allowed. When the lower lens included and the right / left top, the tram can be rotated in the appropriate direction. The passage is prohibited in all directions when three upper signals are burning on the traffic light. This combination is a kind of demand for tram to stop.

This traffic lights are required to use drivers of route vehicles, which are allocated a certain band. In our country, this is most often trams. Nevertheless, other road users should take into account the traffic lights with white-moon lenses. Indeed, with simultaneous placement of different traffic lights, rail vehicles have priority.

Round white-lunar flashing traffic lights are installed before railway crossings. The lenses enabled allow travel through the way. In comparison with the round traffic light, this signal is similar to a green, which allows motion.

If the lens does not blink about white-moon, but on the contrary - it burns red, then the relocation of railway tracks is resolved in the absence in the visibility zone of rail transport. In this situation, you should not hurry. It is better to slowly rate the situation on the crossing. Remember that on many railways has a left-sided movement.

Penalties

The most common driver error is the passage of the prohibitive signal of the traffic light. For the first time, for the violation, your wallet will lose one thousand rubles.

If drove on the red second time, the payment will be significantly higher: five thousand rubles into the state treasury or deprivation of a driver's license for a period of half a year.

It is worth noting that the penalty is discharged not only for but also on yellow, as well as their combination.

Memo starting drivers

Carefully evaluate the situation on the road. It is better to post a little than hurrying and become the initiator of the road accident.

Try not to lose sight of a single sign or markup. After all, initially incorrectly occupied position on the carriageway will not allow you to make a planned maneuver.

Undoubtedly, each participant (whether the driver or pedestrian) is obliged to know traffic rules and move in accordance with them.

6.2. Round traffic lights have the following values:

- the green signal allows motion;

With a green traffic light, a movement is allowed in any directions, if additional restrictions are not applied by signs and markup (Fig. 42). When moving by Mostor, which has more than one strip in one direction, it is necessary to take into account the so-called "rule of robes (paragraph 8.5 of the Rules).

The green flashing signal allows the movement and informs that the time of its action will expire and the prohibitive signal will be turned on (for informing drivers about the time in seconds remaining until the end of the burning of the green signal, digital scoreboard can be used); (Fig. 43)

A green flashing signal, like a green continuously burning signal, allows motion. Etc. Deciding on the termination or continuation of the movement should be taken into account that the start of blinking to turn on the yellow signal usually passes 3-4 C, as well as the distance that your vehicle overcomes 1 s. To approximate this distance, divide the speed at the moment (km / h) for ten and multiply by three.

If you are not sure that you can enter the intersection at a resolution signal, then reduce the speed and stop.

The yellow signal prohibits the movement, except for the cases provided for in paragraph 6.14 of the Rules, and warns of the upcoming change of signals; (Fig. 44)

The yellow signal included after red always prohibits movement. If yellow, the signal is turned on after green, then in exceptional cases, when it is necessary to resort to emergency braking of the rule (clause 6.14) to continue movement.

A yellow flashing signal allows the movement and informs about the presence of an unregulated crossroads or a pedestrian transition, warns of danger; (Fig. 45)

- a red signal, including flashing, prohibits movement, (Article 12.12 of the Administrative Code) (Fig. 46)

The combination of red and yellow signals prohibits movement and informs about the upcoming turn on the green signal. (Fig. 47)

6.3. The traffic lights, made in the form of a red, yellow and green arrows, have the same meaning as the round signals of the corresponding color, but their action applies only to the direction (directions), indicated by the arrows. At the same time, the arrow resolving the turn left allows the reversal, if this is not prohibited by the corresponding road sign.

The same value has a green arrow in the additional section. The shutdown signal of the additional section means prohibiting the movement in the direction adjustable by this section.

In this paragraph, the rules we are talking about two types of transport traffic lights.

First - Traffic light directions. In all three lenses of the main signals, arrows are applied (Fig. 48). Traffic light directions adjust the movement along each band, over which they are located, facilitating the orientation of drivers. Their signals are similar to the signals of the ordinary traffic light.

Second type of traffic lights - These are traffic lights with additional sections (Fig. 49). Movement in the direction of the arrow included in the additional section is allowed only when it is turned on. However, if the green arrow in the additional section is enabled simultaneously with the red signal of the main section of the traffic light, it is necessary to give way to transport moving from other directions (p. 13.5 rules).

6.4. If a black contour arrow is applied to the main green 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 signal of the additional section.

Such a black contour arrow is used to eliminate erroneous rotation or reversal in the dark, when the optional additional section may not be visible to the driver.

6.5. If the traffic light is made in the form of a pedestrian silhouette (bicycle), then its action applies only to pedestrians (cyclists). At the same time, the green signal permits, and the red prohibits the movement of pedestrians (cyclists).

To regulate the movement of cyclists, a light-size roundfood light can also be used, supplemented by a 20 x 200 mm rectangular tablet with a black-colored bicycle image.

6.6. To inform blind pedestrians about the possibility of crossing the carriageway light signals Traffic lights can be supplemented with a beep.

6.7. To regulate the movement of vehicles on the bands of the carriageway, in particular, the direction of movement on which can be changed to the opposite, reversible traffic lights with a red x-form reversing signal and a green signal as an arrow pointing down are used. These signals, respectively, prohibit or allow the movement by the strip over which they are located.

Reverse translated from Latin - reverse. For increase bandwidth Roads on the roadway can be released a strip or several bands, the direction of movement on which is changed depending on the intensity of the transport flow. Such bands are called reversible, isolated a double intermittent line of marking 1.9 and a reversible traffic light is installed above each of them.

Movement is prohibited only by the strip above which the reversible traffic light with the on-line x-shaped signal is located (Fig. 50).

The main signals of the reversible traffic light can be supplemented with a yellow signal as an arrow inclined diagonally down to the right or left, the inclusion of which informs about the upcoming signal change and the need to rebuilt on the strip on which the boom indicates. (Fig. 51)

The use of this signal allows you to speed up the release of the reversing strip and reduces the time required to change the direction of traffic.

When the signals of the reversible traffic light, which is located above the strip, designated on both sides by marking 1.9, entry into this strip is prohibited. (Fig. 52)

6.8. To regulate the movement of trams, as well as other route vehicles moving along the strip dedicated for them, the traffic lights of one-color alarm with four round white-moon signals, located in the form of the letter "T" can be used. The movement is allowed only when the lower signal is turned on at the same time and one or more upper, from which the left allows the movement of the left, the average -pric (Fig. 53), the right - right (Fig. 54 and 55). If only three upper signals are included, movement is prohibited.

The traffic lights at first glance are all very simple and since childhood we all know them. Red - Stop, Yellow - Prepare, Green - Go. This is a very simple rule. In this article we will look at this rule deeper in the framework and find all the pitfalls hidden in the traffic lights. The most interesting will be the signals that are in the additional section of the traffic light and which signals in this section can be. We will look at the 6th chapter of the rules of the road in terms of traffic control through the crossroads of traffic lights.

6.1. Light signals of green, yellow, red and white-moon color apply in traffic lights.

Depending on the destination, the traffic lights can be round, in the form of an arrow (arrows), a silhouette of a pedestrian or bicycle and x-shaped.

Traffic lights with round signals can have one or two additional sections with signals as a green arrow (arrows), which are located at the level of the green circular signal.

Signals of the white-moon light light, in the form of a pedestrian or bicycle and X-shaped in this article we will not consider.

6.2. Round traffic lights have the following values:

• The green signal allows motion;
• The green flashing signal allows motion and informs that the time of its action will expire and the prohibitive signal will be turned on (to inform drivers about the time in seconds remaining until the end of the burning of the green signal, digital scoreboards can be applied);
• The yellow signal prohibits the movement, except for the cases provided for in paragraph 6.14 of the Rules, and warns about the upcoming change of signals;
• A yellow flashing signal allows the movement and informs about the presence of an unregulated crossroads or a pedestrian crossing, warns of danger;
• Red signal, including flashing, prohibits movement.

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

This PDD point describes the round lights of the traffic light. The most common traffic light, which is most often found on the roads.

6.3. The traffic lights, made in the form of a red, yellow and green arrows, have the same meaning as the round signals of the corresponding color, but their action applies only to the direction (directions), indicated by the arrows. At the same time, the arrow resolving the turn left allows the reversal, if this is not prohibited by the corresponding road sign.

The same value has a green arrow in the additional section. The shutdown signal of the additional section means prohibiting the movement in the direction adjustable by this section.

The first thing to pay attention to is that the signals are made in the form of arrows, i.e. The arrow is a signal. The signal is not circular. Under this definition does not fit the traffic lights with a contour arrow and p. 6.3 traffic rules for them are not applicable.

Second important moment, traffic lights made in the form of arrows adjust only Specified directions. For example, if the red arrow is on to the right, then the movement is prohibited only to the right, movement straight, turn to the left and turning this signal are not regulated.

Similarly, with a green arrow signal, but only provided that the arrow is in the main section of the traffic light. Determine, for example, in the dark, the main section of the traffic light or additional is very simple - if the section is additional, then there must be any signal in the main section of the traffic light, if there are no other signals, then this means that the arrow is in the main Sections.

6.4. If a black contour arrow is applied to the main green 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 signal of the additional section.

This item describes the assignment of the outlet arrow of the traffic signal. We see that the contour arrow can be applied only in the main section, and only on the green signal of the traffic light and, unlike the signal in the form of an arrow, the contour arrow allows the movement only in the specified directions. In other directions, movement is prohibited.

On this we could finish our material if there were not a very common situation in practice. We are often found a traffic light with such a signal:

We have traffic lights with an additional section and a round signal. It would seem according to paragraph 6.3 to move towards the regulated this section forbidden.

But let's figure it out:

• According to paragraph 6.2, the round green signal allows motion in all directions, p.6.3 adjusts the traffic lights made in the form of arrows, in this case paragraph 6.3 is not applicable.
• The additional section may not be visible in the dark, and traffic lights cannot have a different value depending on the time of day.
• The direction adjustable by the additional section is unknown to us, it is known only that it is "other", from the signal in the main section, and in the main section we have a green signal allowing movement in all directions,
• The additional section may not contain a traffic light signal at all, but to be used for example for a timer.

Thus, with a given signal of the traffic light according to paragraph 6.2, the movement is allowed in all directions, if other prohibitions are not established by signs or marking.

Answer umvd

Let's bring a brief summary:

• The circular signal of the traffic light is distributed to all directions,
• A traffic light signal made in the form of an arrow in the main section applies only to the specified direction and does not regulate the movement in other directions,
• The traffic light signal made in the form of an arrow in the additional section applies only to the specified direction and prohibits movement in other directions,
• The circular signal of the traffic light on which the contour arrow is applied only to the specified direction and prohibits movement in other directions.

And here so sees the situation of the TV show "Main Road" on NTV.

Goods to you without obstacles!

To date, it is very difficult to imagine traffic rules without the main tool for streamlining movement, which is a traffic light. It is intended for adjustment and relief both automotive and pedestrian motion. Distinguish different traffic lights, depending on their functions. Although they are similar to each other, but have certain nuances that need to be remembered.

Traffic light: definition

The traffic light is called an optical signaling device, which is intended to regulate the movement of cars, bicycles and other vehicles, as well as pedestrians. It is used in all global states without exception.

Interesting! Earlier in Japan there was no green light in traffic lights. It replaced blue. But scientists have proven that green is more acceptable for human eye.

Types of traffic lights

The most common are tricolor traffic lights with round signals: red, yellow and green. PDDs of some countries involve the use of orange traffic lights instead of yellow. Signals can be located both vertically and horizontally. If other special traffic lights or additional sections are not provided, then they regulate the movement of all types of transport, as well as pedestrians. Next, we consider various types of traffic lights, from everyday to special.

Classic three-section traffic lights

Such a traffic light has, as a rule, three colors located in order: red, yellow, green - from top to bottom or left to right. Such traffic lights are installed on intersections. They are intended for simultaneous passing of all types of transport in all directions allowed by traffic rules. They are also installed on adjustable pedestrian transitions located between the intersections. It is allowed to install such a traffic light and on the railway crossing in settlements, at the intersection of the road with tramways, before the bike path and the carriageway.You can also see them where there is a narrowing of the roadway to skip the counter transport alternately.

Interesting fact!The first three-section traffic light was installed in Detroit in 1920.

Two-section

Traffic lights with two sections are used to regulate the flow of motion in the territories of industrial enterprises and organizations, as well as during the narrowing of the roadway to organize a single-band reversing transport flow.

Titlephone single-section with yellow light

Such a single-color traffic light is found on unregulated crossroads and pedestrian crossings.

Traffic lights with extra section

Traffic lights can be equipped with additional sectional sections with arrows or arrows contours. They regulate traffic traffic in one direction or another. Such traffic lights are working, according to traffic rules, as follows: The contours of the arrows on all signals of the usual three-color traffic lights mean that its action is distributed only in one specified direction.

Additional section of the traffic light with a green arrow on a black background by traffic rules allows the passage, but does not provide advantage during the coup. Sometimes you can always meet a burning green signal, which is made in the form of a plate with a solid green arrow. This means on traffic rules that the rotation is allowed, despite the prohibition of traffic lights.

Such traffic lights are installed in those places where the organization of a conflict-free transport movement is necessary on intersections. If a green light comes on at one of these traffic lights, then crossing the intersection, you can not yield the road. In order not to emergency situations, personal traffic lights are located above each band, which show the direction of movement, which is allowed from a specific strip.

Reversible traffic lights

To adjust the movement on the bands of the roadway, reversible traffic lights are used.These are special band control regulators. On such traffic lights can be placed from two to three signals: a red signal in the form of the letter "X" prohibits movement on a specific strip. The arrow of the green color, which is directed down, on the contrary, allows movement. The diagonal arrow of yellow color signals that the mode of movement in the strip is changed, and shows, in which direction you need to move from it.

Traffic lights for controlling movement through a pedestrian crossing

Typically, such traffic lights have only two types of signals: the first one allows, the second - prohibits.As a rule, they correspond to green and red colors. The signals themselves can be of different shapes. Often they are depicted in the form of a stylized silhouette of a person: standing red and walking green. For example, in America, the prohibitive signal is performed as a red raised palm, meaning "stop". Sometimes the inscriptions are used: the Red "Stop" and green "Walk". In other countries, respectively, in other languages.

Traffic lights with automatic switching are installed on highways with a lively motion. But there are cases when you can switch the traffic light by pressing special buttonsThat allows you to move the road for a certain time. Modern traffic lights for convenience are equipped with a digital table countdown. For non-violent people in traffic lights mounted sound devices.

To regulate traffic tram

The traffic light is usually placed in front of areas with a limited overview, long-term lifts and descents, with a tram depot and before the arrows. Traffic lights for tram there are two types: green and red. They are installed either to the right of the paths, either hang in the center over the contact wire. Basically such traffic lights notify tram drivers about whether the path is busy further or not. They do not regulate the movements of other vehicles and are purely individual. Their work is built automatically.

Traffic signals: travel rules

Round light signals mean the following: the static green signal allows the movement of vehicles or pedestrians, and the blinking of the green signal of the traffic light means that the prohibitive signal will soon turn around, but so far the movement is allowed.

Interesting fact!Residents of large cities generally spend about half a year of life to wait for a susceptible traffic signal.

What does the yellow traffic light signal mean? He warns that the prohibitive signal will be replaced by a permitting or vice versa, and at the time of its action prohibits movement. The flashing of a yellow traffic light signal means that the road area where this traffic light is not regulated. If it is located at the intersection and works in this mode, then the intersection is unregulated. Drivers are guided by those articles of the PDD, which stipulates the passage of unregulated intersections. The static and flashing red signal prohibits movement in any direction.

Burning at the same time red and yellow traffic lights read about what to move is prohibited, and the green light will soon light up. The white-moon traffic light signal informs that the alarm is proper, and you can continue to move. Such traffic lights are installed on the tram and railway tracks.

Traffic lights that have the appearance of the arrows mean the following: Red, yellow and green arrows mean the same as round signals, only act in a certain direction. The arrow that points to the left allows the reversal, if it does not prohibit the corresponding road sign on priority.

The green arrow of the additional section also has a similar meaning. If this signal is turned off, or the red contour is lit, it means that the movement in this direction is prohibited. If the main green signal has a black contour arrow, then this means that there are other directions of movement, except for those that the additional section indicates.

What good thing: sign, traffic light or markup?

Road rules imply the following priority: the main is the adjustor, then the traffic light, then the sign and then already marking. Signals of the controller priority traffic signals and road signs. They are mandatory for execution. All traffic lights, except for flashing yellow, significance of road signs. All road participants are obliged to perform the instructions of the regulator even if they contradict traffic lights, signs and markup.

In the capital of Germany there is a traffic light with thirteen signals. In his testimony, it is not easy to figure out just.
