S.L. 65.11 Art. 125Vehicular traffic light signals.

(1) The Authority may erect or authorise the erection of light signals, operated either automatically or manually, in the centre of any road intersection or junction, or at the side of any road, for the purpose of regulating vehicular traffic in that area.

(2) One of such signals shall consist of three vertically erected signalling lamps emitting, when in operation, a red light, a green light and an amber light respectively which shall signify as follows:

(a) the red signal shall convey the prohibition that vehicular traffic shall not proceed beyond the stop line on the carriageway or, if there is no stop line, beyond the signals where these are erected on the side of the road; where the light signals are in the centre of a road intersection or junction, and there is no stop line on the carriageway, the red signal shall convey the prohibition that vehicular traffic is not to emerge on the intersecting road or junction;

(b) the green signal shall convey an indication that vehicular traffic may proceed straight, or turn to the left or to the right;

(c) the amber signal shall be an indication of an impending change from the green signal to the red signal and shall convey the same prohibition as the red signal: Provided that if, when such amber signal first appears, a vehicle is so close to the stop line or signals or road intersection or junction, as the case may be, that it cannot be safely stopped in accordance with paragraph (a) of sub-regulation (2) of this regulation, such prohibition shall not apply: Provided further that when a flashing amber light is in operation, such signal shall convey an indication that vehicular traffic is to proceed with caution owing to a road intersection or junction or to the presence of a pedestrian crossing.

(3) When the signal consists of three signalling lamps in triangular form emitting, when in operation, two intermittent red light signals and an amber light respectively, such lights shall signify as follows -

(a) the intermittent red signals shall convey the prohibition that traffic shall not proceed beyond the stop line;

(b) the amber signal shall convey the prohibition that traffic shall not proceed beyond the stop line on the carriageway, except for a vehicle which is so close to the stop line that it cannot safely be stopped without proceeding beyond the stop line.

(4) Vehicular traffic proceeding in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this regulation shall proceed with due regard to the safety of other users of the road and subject to the directive of the Police or other duly authorised person who may be engaged in the regulation of traffic.
