RED LIGHT - STOP

|
Stop well before the stop line, and don't crowd the intersection. This not
only obstructs a clear view of the intersection for other road users, but
also makes the zebra crossing unsafe for the pedestrians. You are allowed to
turn left at the red signal unless there is a sign specifically forbidding
you to do so. When turning, yield the right of way to pedestrians and vehicles
from other directions.

YELLOW LIGHT - BE ALERT

The Amber light gives time to vehicles to clear the road when the signal is changing from green to red. If caught in the Amber signal in the middle of a large road crossing do not press your accelerator in panic but do continue with care.

|
GREEN LIGHT - GO
|
|
If first in line, do not go tearing off at the green signal but pause to see whether
vehicles from other directions have cleared the road.
Sometimes you are allowed to turn left or right too, unless separate signs exist
for each direction. if turning, yield the right of way to pedestrians and vehicles from
other directions.
