Traffic lights and traffic controller signals. Traffic lights on all types of roads Tram traffic lights

At first glance, traffic light signals are all very simple and we have all known them since childhood. Red - stop, yellow - get ready, green - go. This is a very simple rule. In this article we will look at this rule deeper within the framework.

Let's find all the pitfalls hidden in traffic lights. The most interesting signals will be those that are located in the additional section of the traffic light and what signals there may be in this section. We will look at Chapter 6 of the Traffic Rules regarding the regulation of traffic through an intersection using traffic lights.

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.

We will not consider white-lunar traffic lights, in the form of a silhouette of a pedestrian or a bicycle, and X-shaped ones in this article.

6.2. Round traffic lights have the following meanings:

A green signal allows movement;

A green flashing signal allows movement and informs that its time 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);

The yellow signal prohibits movement, except in cases provided for in paragraph 6.14 of the Rules, and warns of an upcoming change of signals;

A yellow flashing signal allows movement and informs about the presence of an unregulated intersection or pedestrian crossing, warns of danger;

A red signal, including a flashing one, prohibits movement.

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

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

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 means that movement in the direction regulated by this section is prohibited.

The first thing you should 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 round. Traffic light signals with a contour arrow do not fit this definition, and clause 6.3 of the traffic rules is not applicable to them.

The second important point is that traffic light signals made in the form of arrows regulate only indicated directions. For example, if the red arrow to the right is on, then movement is prohibited only to the right; moving straight, turning left and turning around are not regulated by this signal.

The same applies to the green arrow signal, but only if the arrow is in the main section of the traffic light. Determining, for example, in the dark, whether this is the main section of a traffic light or an additional one is very simple - if the section is additional, then some signal in the main section of the traffic light must be on; if there are no other signals besides the arrow, then this means that the arrow is in the main 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.

This paragraph describes the purpose of the contour arrow of a traffic light signal. We see that a contour arrow can only be placed in the main section, and only on a green traffic light signal, and unlike a signal in the form of an arrow, a contour arrow allows movement only in the indicated directions. Traffic in other directions is prohibited.

We could finish our material here, if not for one very common situation in practice. We often come across a traffic light with the following signal:

In front of us is a traffic light with an additional section and a round signal. It would seem that according to paragraph 6.3, moving in the direction regulated by this section is prohibited.

But let's figure it out:

According to clause 6.2, a round green signal allows movement in all directions, clause 6.3 regulates traffic light signals made in the form of arrows, in this case clause 6.3 is not applicable.
The additional section may not be visible at night, and traffic signals may not have different meanings depending on the time of day.
The direction regulated by the additional section is unknown to us, we only know that it is “different” from the signal in the main section, and in the main section we have a green signal that allows movement in all directions,
The additional section may not contain a traffic light signal at all, but can be used, for example, for a timer.

Thus, with a given traffic light signal, according to clause 6.2, movement is allowed in all directions, unless otherwise prohibited by signs or markings.

Response from the Ministry of Internal Affairs

Let's summarize:

The round traffic light signal extends to all directions,
The traffic light signal, made in the form of an arrow in the main section, applies only to the indicated direction and does not regulate traffic in other directions,
The traffic light signal, made in the form of an arrow in the additional section, applies only to the indicated direction and prohibits movement in other directions,
A round traffic light signal with a contour arrow on it applies only to the indicated direction and prohibits movement in other directions.

And this is how the TV show “Main Road” on NTV sees the situation.

Dear you without obstacles!

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.

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.

Here we consider two types of 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 at different traffic lights 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 in the dark, drivers can 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 white rectangular plate measuring 200 x 200 mm with a black bicycle image, can also be used.

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

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

When a sound signal is heard in the area where a traffic light is located (a similar phenomenon can be found at controlled pedestrian crossings, more often outside an intersection), 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 best option for stopping at a prohibitory signal before an intersection is the traffic light line. 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 dividing traffic flows in 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 a traffic controller controls traffic, 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.

6.8. 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.

Comments

Traffic lights in the shape of the letter “T” (three sections at the top, one at the bottom) regulate the movement of trams and other types of route transport that are allowed to move along the dedicated lane.

Lunar white sections

Their function is to allow or prohibit movement in specific directions. The traffic light is considered working and allows movement in one of the directions if one or more upper sections and always the lower one are lit. So, if the upper left and lower sections light up, then movement to the left is allowed. Movement is prohibited when the three upper sections are on and the lower sections are off. If there is no special traffic light, trams are guided by the signals of a regular three-color traffic light.

	Traffic controller signal

The first traffic light appeared in 1868 in the center of London, and in the USSR the first such unit was installed in 1930 in the center of Moscow. Since then, such devices, designed to regulate the flow of vehicle traffic, have become a mandatory attribute of the streets of any city.

In Russia, traffic lights are the property of municipalities.

The procedure for regulating the movement of vehicles using such devices, as well as the types of data signaling devices and traffic light rules for drivers, are regulated by Chapter 7 “Traffic Controller and Traffic Light Signals” of the Road Traffic Regulations (TRAF).

Types of traffic lights

The Russian Traffic Regulations describe several types of semaphores, described below.

For street transport

Such devices generally consist of three signals of different colors. Each of these colors has its own meaning:

A red light prohibits movement in the indicated direction. The same property is possessed by a red flashing signal and two lamps with a red light lit at the same time.
The yellow light informs traffic participants about the upcoming change in semaphore signals. In general, this color instructs drivers to stop, but in the following situations, driving with a yellow light is permitted:
- The car is already at the intersection with the yellow light on;
- The car cannot stop, thereby fulfilling the requirement of the control device, without the driver using methods of emergency stopping the car.

A flashing yellow lamp allows vehicles to pass through the intersection, informing drivers that they are on an unregulated section of the road or a pedestrian crossing. This signal can be considered as a warning to drivers about the danger that may arise on this section of the road.

A green light allows vehicle movement in the indicated direction.

Two-section

These units are used in the following cases:

To regulate the flow of transport moving through the internal territory of enterprises;
To organize driving on an open lane during road works or temporary narrowing of the road.

Semaphores, consisting of two sections, can also be used to regulate passage through railway crossings. In this case, two alternately flashing red signals prohibit vehicles from passing the crossing.

Along with two-section devices, control devices with one lamp are used to control the passage of vehicles at railway crossings. In this case, a red LED light obliges drivers to stop before crossing, while a white LED light allows drivers to pass the crossing.

Single section with yellow light

A few words should be said about the single-section unit.

A similar device is sometimes installed in front of intersections that do not have means of traffic control.

With additional sections and arrows

Semaphores equipped with sections with arrows are often found on roads. These sections regulate movement in the direction of the arrow shown on them. The color values remain the same as in the case of devices for street transport.

It should be noted that the green color of the section does not give an advantage to cars that are allowed to pass by this signal.

In some cases, arrows are used in transport semaphores that do not have sections. As a rule, such devices are designed to regulate traffic in specific lanes.

Reversible

Similar devices are used when organizing reverse traffic along one of the lanes. The colors of the lanterns in this case have the following meaning:

A red light in the shape of the letter X prohibits the movement of vehicles in this lane;
The green arrow allows movement along the lane;
The yellow arrow indicates a prohibition on movement in the lane immediately after the traffic light, and also indicates the direction of exit from the lane.

To regulate the movement of trams

Such traffic lights have four moon-white lights placed in the shape of the letter “T”. All meanings of these devices are listed below:

If all semaphore sections are lit, the tram can move in any direction;
If only the lower and upper central lights are on, then only straight driving is allowed;
When the lower and extreme left or right sections of the device are on, it is allowed to turn left or right, respectively. If both outer sections are lit, then turning is allowed in both directions;
If, when performing the previous device, the white-lunar lamp in the center of the semaphore lights up, then the tram can also continue moving straight;
Finally, the top three lights of the traffic light signal the trams to stop.

It should be noted that the signals of such a device can be intended not only for trams, but also for regulating the movement of public transport and taxis along dedicated lanes.

Pedestrian and bicycle crossings

Devices designed to control pedestrian crossings usually consist of two red and green lamps, indicating the prohibition and permission of movement along the crossing, respectively.

Often the lamps of such devices have the appearance of a schematically depicted person.

Bicycle semaphores can have three lamps: red, yellow and green. These lamps can also be shaped like a schematic bicycle. Sometimes, when installing such devices, a sign is also installed indicating that the effect of this semaphore applies only to cyclists.

What is more important: a sign, a traffic light or markings?

Traffic regulations of the Russian Federation establish the following priority of means regulating traffic:

The most important and mandatory signal is the signal given by the traffic controller;
The next most important is the traffic signal;
Less important are the requirements prescribed by road signs installed in a given place;
Finally, the least priority are the requirements established by the markings of this part of the road.

Thus, road users are required to comply with the requirements indicated by the traffic light, regardless of the road signs installed in this place and the markings of this part of the road.

Every driver encounters such a device as a traffic light every day. Compliance with the requirements of traffic regulations regarding the passage of intersections with control devices installed on them makes it possible to avoid many emergency and dangerous situations, as well as to manage the flow of vehicles passing through the intersection as efficiently as possible.

Traffic signals.

Such traffic lights are used to regulate the movement of trams.

1. If the top ones are on, the bottom one is not on - trams are prohibited from moving.

2.If any of the upper ones are lit along with the lower one, then movement is allowed in that direction (example drawings, all options are drawn).

3. When the tram traffic light is absent or does not work, the trams are guided by the signals of the general traffic light.

The traffic light operates in this mode:

First the green light is on, it allows movement, then
Green flashing, it allows movement and warns that there will be a signal change, i.e. yellow will light up.
Yellow, it prohibits movement and warns that there will be red, then
Red - prohibits movement. Then it turns on
Red and yellow - they prohibit movement and warn that there will be green. Then the green light turns on again and the cycle repeats.

Flashing yellow - the traffic light is off, traffic is allowed. The intersection is considered unregulated, priority is determined by the rules (0-3).

To increase the throughput of the intersection, additional sections (with an arrow) are used.

And there are also these rules:

It is prohibited to enter an intersection if there is a traffic jam behind it, which will force you to stop at the intersection, even if you have a traffic light.
Before starting to move (if the light turns green), you must wait until the intersection is cleared by pedestrians completing the crossing of the road and cars at the intersection.
8.10. When a traffic light (except a reversing one) or a traffic controller gives a signal prohibiting movement, drivers must stop in front of road markings 1.12 (stop line), road sign 5.62, if there are none... in front of a traffic light, a pedestrian crossing, and if they are absent, in all other cases - in front of the crossed roadway, without creating obstacles to the movement of pedestrians.
8.11. Drivers who, when the yellow signal turns on or the traffic controller raises his hand up, cannot stop the vehicle in the place provided for in paragraph 8.10 of these Rules without resorting to emergency braking, are allowed to move on, provided that road safety is ensured.
16.8. A driver who has entered the intersection of roadways according to a traffic light signal permitting movement must drive in the intended direction, regardless of the traffic light signals at the exit. However, if at intersections in front of traffic lights in the driver’s path there is a road marking 1.12 (stop line) or a road sign 5.62, he must be guided by the signals of each traffic light.

Recently, an experiment was carried out, and now changes have been introduced to the traffic rules: next to the red traffic light, a sign with an arrow is hung, allowing movement to the arrow when the signal is red, provided that traffic safety is ensured (vehicles from other directions are allowed to pass).

Clause 6.8 of the Russian Traffic Regulations

Comments to clause 6.8

To regulate the movement of trams, as well as other route vehicles (buses, trolleybuses, minibuses) 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. Other vehicles are required to follow the signals of regular traffic lights.

Driving in places where traffic lights with white-lunar signals are installed is permitted only when the lower signal and one or more upper ones are turned on simultaneously, of which:

left allows movement to the left;

medium - straight movement;

right - movement to the right.

If only the top three signals are on, then movement is prohibited.

When traveling simultaneously with trackless vehicles, the tram always has priority. That's why:

if the traffic light in question allows the movement of a tram and a fixed-route trackless vehicle at the same time, then the driver of the latter yields to the tram;

If the combination of T-shaped traffic light signals for the tram, allowing it to move in the required direction, has not yet been turned on, then the trackless vehicle can pass first.

Note: a special traffic light with four round white-moon colored signals is included in the general control scheme of all traffic lights at a given intersection, and the driver of a route vehicle can navigate by its signals, being confident that passage to the permitting signal is safe (there is no “conflict” with other vehicles).

If the lower section of the white-lunar traffic light is turned on, then the permitted directions of movement for route vehicles are calculated very easily. An arrow mentally formed between the LOWER and the turned on UPPER sections indicates the specific permitted direction. If the lower section is turned off, none of the arrows are turned on, and therefore movement is prohibited in all directions.

Penalty to clause 6.8

According to Part 1 of Article 12.12 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, a fine of rubles is imposed for driving through a prohibiting traffic light signal.

Problem for paragraph 6.8

Is a car driver required to give way to a tram before continuing straight ahead?

Solution:: The movement of trams in this case is regulated by a separate traffic light of one-color signaling with four round signals of white and moon color, located in the shape of the letter T. A tram is allowed to turn right only when the lower and upper right signals are turned on simultaneously (clause 6.8 of the Rules).

Traffic rules clause 6: traffic control

6.1. Traffic lights control traffic using red, green, yellow and moonlight.

Depending on the command given, the traffic light lenses generate a signal in the form of a single-color circle, the silhouette of a bicycle or pedestrian, an arrow or an “X” sign.

Traffic lights that give signals in the form of a circle can be additionally equipped with 1 or 2 sections located on the same horizontal line as the round green signal and having the image of a green arrow.

Types of traffic lights

According to their purpose, traffic lights can be pedestrian or transport.

Transport traffic lights consist of three sections that produce round signals in red, yellow and green. With their help, movement is regulated in all directions: left, right, straight and turning.

Transport traffic lights with circle signals may have additional lenses placed on the same horizontal line as the round green signal. They give commands in the form of one/several arrows indicating a direction different from that shown by the main round green signal. These are usually arrows pointing to the left (left lens) or right (right lens).

The movement of cyclists and pedestrians is regulated by bicycle and pedestrian traffic lights respectively. Their lenses have images of a cyclist and a pedestrian. Traffic lights for pedestrians and cyclists consist of two sections. One (upper) gives a prohibiting red signal, the second (lower) gives a permissive green signal.

X-shaped traffic lights are designed to control traffic with reversal (alternating movement in both directions), carried out along a special (reversible) lane, marked on the road with appropriate markings.

6.2. The traffic light gives the following commands using round signals.

Flashing green – movement is allowed, but a prohibition signal will be given soon. To indicate the time remaining before the command changes, digital displays can be used that display the time in seconds remaining until the signal changes.

Yellow signal - movement is prohibited, but the signal will change soon. The traffic ban applies in all cases, except as specified in clause 6.14 of the Traffic Regulations.

Flashing yellow – movement is allowed. In addition to allowing movement, traffic lights with a constantly flashing yellow light indicate an uncontrolled crossing/intersection, and also warn the driver of the need for increased attention when entering a particularly dangerous area.

Red constant or flashing signal – movement is prohibited.

A combination of yellow and red means movement is prohibited, but a green signal will be given soon.

Constantly burning yellow and red signals - movement is prohibited.

At night, due to weak traffic, traffic lights sometimes switch from a three-color signal to a flashing yellow signal, thus making this section of the road unregulated. When crossing it, drivers must assume that the rules for unregulated intersections, determined by established priority signs, apply in this area.

A constantly flashing red traffic light prohibits movement. Usually this alarm is installed before railway crossings. The combination of yellow and red colors prohibits movement, while simultaneously informing drivers that the green signal will turn on very soon.

The additional section with a green arrow has a similar meaning. That is, it allows movement in the direction indicated by the arrow. If the additional section signal is turned off, or the red color is turned on, this indicates that movement in the direction regulated by this section is prohibited.

Signals for pedestrian and cyclist traffic control

Traffic lights that control the movement of cyclists and pedestrians have two sections, on the lenses of which there are silhouettes of a bicycle and a pedestrian. The upper section with a red lens prohibits movement, the lower section with a green lens allows movement.

Sound signals for blind pedestrians

Sometimes the color signals installed for pedestrians, allowing or prohibiting the crossing of the road, are supplemented by sound signals - to inform blind or visually impaired pedestrians.

A sound signal in the area of traffic lights (most often located at controlled pedestrian crossings, but sometimes outside them) indicates that blind pedestrians often appear in this area.

According to paragraph 14.5 of the traffic rules, drivers must always (regardless of whether there is a pedestrian crossing in this place or not) give way to blind pedestrians. They can usually be recognized by the cane in their hand, and it does not have to be white. An audible signal helps blind pedestrians better navigate traffic conditions.

Signals given by traffic lights at railway crossings

6.9. A white-lunar flashing traffic light permits movement on the crossing. If the red and flashing white-lunar signals are turned off, movement is only allowed if there is no approaching train, locomotive or handcar within sight.

Traffic lights installed at railway crossings can give the following combinations of signals:

red single flashing – movement is prohibited;

two horizontal red signals flashing alternately – movement is prohibited;

single white-moon flashing at a low frequency with the red signals turned off - movement is allowed.

Traffic controller signals

6.10. The regulator gives the following signals.

In this case, vehicles and pedestrians located on the left and right sides of the traffic controller are allowed the following movement:

for trackless vehicles - straight and to the right;

pedestrians - across the roadway.

Vehicles and pedestrians in front and behind the traffic controller are prohibited from moving.

Right arm extended forward

In this case, the vehicle located on the left side is allowed to move:

trackless vehicles - in any direction.

Vehicles in front can only move to the right.

Vehicles on the right and behind are prohibited from moving.

Pedestrians can cross the road behind the traffic controller.

Hand raised up

All vehicles and pedestrians are prohibited from driving, except for those cases provided for in clause 6.14 of the Traffic Regulations.

To better assimilate the traffic controller’s signals, you need to understand, first of all, the following.

The outstretched arms of the traffic controller indicate the directions from which movement is permitted.

According to clause 8.5 of the traffic rules, before complying with the inspector’s request to make a U-turn or turn, the driver is required to move to the outermost lane of the road. If there are signs 5.15.2 and 5.15.1 or there are markings 1.18 regulating the direction of movement along the lanes, changing lanes for U-turns and turns is carried out in accordance with their instructions.

Driver's actions when commanded to stop

The traffic controller's signals have priority over all others (road markings and signs) and must be followed regardless of the latter's commands.

Controller's use of a whistle

Determining where the vehicle stops

At the crossroads. In front of the roadway crossing the direction in which the vehicle is moving (in accordance with clause 13.7 of the traffic rules). In this case, pedestrians should not be interfered with.

Before the railway crossing. According to clause 15.4 of the traffic rules.

In other places. In front of a traffic controller or traffic light. Stopped vehicles should not interfere with the movement of pedestrians and vehicles that are allowed to move.

In this case, the problem of choosing a stopping place arises, since stopping a vehicle at a pedestrian crossing will interfere with pedestrians, and stopping behind the crossing will hinder vehicles moving along the road being crossed.

Traffic regulations: 6.8 - To regulate the movement of trams

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.

Thematic questions of exam papers

You intend to turn left. Your actions?

Answer. The combination of a green traffic light and an illuminated arrow in the additional section allows you to turn left. Tram traffic at this intersection is regulated by a single-color traffic light in the shape of the letter “T”. Considering that with such a signal the tram is prohibited from moving, you can pass the intersection first.

Which vehicles are covered by such traffic lights?

Answer. A traffic light in the shape of the letter “T” with four white-moon colored signals is used to regulate the movement of trams, as well as other route vehicles when they move along a specially designated lane. This traffic light does not apply to all other vehicles.

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

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

Traffic lights and traffic controller signals 6.1 Traffic lights use light signals of green, yellow, red and white-moon colors. Depending on the purpose, traffic light signals can be round, in the form of an arrow (arrows), a silhouette of a pedestrian or a bicycle, and X-shaped.

6.2 Round traffic lights have the following meanings:

GREEN SIGNAL allows movement;

A GREEN FLASHING SIGNAL allows movement and informs that its time 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 as provided for in paragraph 6.14 of the Rules, and warns of an upcoming change of signals;

A YELLOW FLASHING SIGNAL allows movement and informs about the presence of an unregulated intersection or pedestrian crossing, and warns of danger;

A RED SIGNAL, including a flashing one, 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 applies 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 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 (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 white plate measuring 200x200 mm with a picture of a black bicycle, 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 the 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.

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 railway crossing allows the movement of vehicles 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 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;

All vehicles are prohibited from the right side and back;

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 loud-speaking 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.

6.13 When there is a prohibiting signal from a traffic light (except a reversing one) or from a traffic controller, drivers must stop in front of the stop line (sign 6.16 “Stop”), and in its absence:

At an intersection - in front of the roadway being crossed (taking into account clause 13.7 of the Rules), without interfering with pedestrians;

Before a railway crossing - in accordance with clause 15.4 of the Rules;

In other places - in front of a traffic light or traffic controller, without interfering with vehicles and pedestrians whose movement is permitted.

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.

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.

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

Traffic rules 2018 with online comments

Free legal advice:

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.

Free legal advice:

6.2. Round traffic lights have the following meanings:

A green signal allows movement;
A green flashing signal allows movement and informs that its time 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);
The yellow signal prohibits movement, except in cases provided for in paragraph 6.14 of the Rules, and warns of an upcoming change of signals;
A yellow flashing signal allows movement and informs about the presence of an unregulated intersection or pedestrian crossing, warns of danger;
A red signal, including a flashing one, prohibits movement.

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

Free legal advice:

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 3.19 “Turning is prohibited” or, for example, one of the mandatory signs 4.1.1-4.1.6, which allow movement only in the direction indicated by the arrow on the sign, may be installed nearby.

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 follow the rules for driving through uncontrolled intersections and the requirements of the priority signs installed at the intersection.

Free legal advice:

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.

Here we consider two types of transport traffic lights: directional traffic lights and traffic lights with an additional section.

Free legal advice:

Permitted directions of movement at different traffic lights 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.

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

Free legal advice:

6.5. If a traffic light signal is made in the form of a silhouette of a pedestrian (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).

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

Free legal advice:

Clause 14.5 of the traffic rules obliges drivers to give way to blind pedestrians in all cases, including outside pedestrian crossings. How to distinguish them from sighted people - blind pedestrians usually use a cane when moving. It is not a fact that it will necessarily be white, you need to keep this in mind. In such cases, the sound signal at the traffic light serves as an additional guide for blind pedestrians.

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.

Free legal advice:

A lane or several lanes may be allocated on the road, the direction of movement along which, depending on the situation, changes to the opposite. Such lanes are marked on the roadway with a double broken line marking 1.9. The direction of traffic on them is regulated using reversible traffic lights, and the lanes themselves are called reversible.

Reversible traffic lights only affect those lanes above which they are located.

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.

Permitted directions of movement of trams at different traffic lights with single-color signaling.

At intersections, single-color traffic lights with four round moon-white signals arranged in the shape of the letter “T” can be used. Such a traffic light is popularly called “Tram traffic light”.

Free legal advice:

The signals of such a T-shaped traffic light regulate the movement of trams and other route vehicles that move along a dedicated lane. Trams, while simultaneously having the right to travel with trackless vehicles, have priority (clauses 13.6 and 13.11 of the traffic rules). Therefore, if this traffic light allows the movement of a tram and a trackless vehicle at the same time, the driver of the latter gives way to the tram.

The same rule applies when a white-moon T-shaped traffic light is installed in conjunction with a regular three-color traffic light. With simultaneous traffic rights, the tram has priority. Therefore, drivers of trackless vehicles must know the traffic light signals for trams.

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.

At a railway crossing, traffic lights with the following combinations of lights can be used:

Flashing single red signal – movement through the railway crossing is prohibited;

Free legal advice:

Two alternately flashing red signals located horizontally - movement through the railway crossing is prohibited;

A slowly flashing single white-lunar signal in combination with two unlit red lights located horizontally - movement through the railway crossing is permitted;

When the signals in any of the listed combinations are not lit (turned off), then the traffic light, despite its presence, is considered not working, and the railway crossing is currently considered unregulated. Therefore, you should drive through it with increased attention. If priority signs are installed before a railway crossing (usually sign 2.5 “Moving without stopping is prohibited”), then in the case of a non-working traffic light, the requirement of the sign must be fulfilled.

6.10. The traffic controller signals have the following meanings:

Arms extended to the sides or lowered:

Free legal advice:

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 arm extended 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.

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).

Permitted directions of movement at various traffic controller signals.

To make it easier to master the traffic controller’s signals, you need to understand that of the four possible sides of movement (chest, back, left arm, right hand), the traffic controller allows movement on two sides, and prohibits it on two sides.

Movement is always prohibited from the traffic controller's back and from the right side, when his right arm is extended forward, as if blocking the movement.
With outstretched arms, the traffic controller points to those sides of the intersection from which traffic is permitted.
Trackless transport moves from “sleeve to sleeve” of the traffic controller, and at the same time there is always the opportunity (allowed) to turn right. You can turn left and turn around when the trajectory from “sleeve to sleeve” “turns” to the left along the way.
Trams move only from “sleeve to sleeve” of the traffic controller.

Following the instructions of the traffic controller, in order to turn or make a U-turn at an intersection, you must take the appropriate extreme position on the roadway in advance (Section 8.5 of the Traffic Regulations). If there are signs 5.15.1 or 5.15.2 indicating the direction of movement along the lanes, or markings 1.18, which perform the same function, then in order to turn or turn around you will need to change lanes according to their instructions.

Free legal advice:

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.

The driver is obliged to comply with the traffic controller’s orders even if they contradict traffic light signals, the requirements of road signs or markings (clause 6.15 of the traffic rules).

Having received the order to stop, you must, according to all the rules, drive up to the place where the traffic controller (inspector) indicated. According to all the rules, this means turning on the turn signal, making sure that this maneuver will not interfere with anyone, smoothly approaching the indicated place and stopping.

It is not necessary to get out of the car, however, you can, on your own initiative, for the convenience of conversation, go out to meet the inspector. The inspector must come up, introduce himself and state the reason for the stop.

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

Free legal advice:

To attract the attention of road users, the inspector may use a whistle. It is often used by traffic controllers not only at intersections, but also in various difficult traffic situations, when the movement process itself needs regulation.

6.13. When there is a prohibitory signal from a traffic light (except a reversing one) or from a traffic controller, drivers must stop in front of the stop line (sign 6.16), and in its absence:

at an intersection - in front of the roadway being crossed (taking into account clause 13.7 of the Rules), without interfering with pedestrians;
before a railway crossing - in accordance with clause 15.4 of the Rules;
in other places - in front of a traffic light or traffic controller, without interfering with vehicles and pedestrians whose movement is permitted.

On sections of roads where traffic is regulated by traffic lights (traffic controllers may be involved in this process), paragraphs 6.2 and 6.10 of this section require stopping traffic in response to a prohibiting traffic light signal or a traffic controller’s gesture. What places should you stop in this case?

First of all, you need to pay attention to the presence of markings 1.12 “Stop Line” and sign 6.16 “Stop Line” in front of the intersection. Clause 6.13 obliges you to stop (stop driving) without going beyond the specified markings or sign. For violation of this requirement, the driver will be fined under Art. 12.12 part 2 of the Administrative Code.

Free legal advice:

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.

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 dividing traffic flows in opposite directions.

Free legal advice:

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. You can read how such situations usually end in the series of articles Road Situations. Passing on a yellow signal. There are also videos on this topic.

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.

Free legal advice:

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, traffic controllers 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.
