Regulation 16

Light signals may be used to indicate to cyclists, PMD riders and pedestrians the period during which they should or should not cross the road, subway or bridge, as the case may be.

The light signals for cyclists, PMD riders and pedestrians shall consist of one red light with the picture of a red bicycle and one green light with the picture of a green bicycle.

The effective diameter of the lens of each light shall not be less than 300 mm.

The height of the centre of the lens of the green light above the surface of the road, including that in a subway or on a bridge, as the case may be, shall be 2,290 mm except that it may be increased where owing to the gradient of the surface it is desirable to do so.

The centre of the lens of the lights shall not be more than 350 mm apart.

The post on which the lights are supported may be painted black and yellow in alternate horizontal bands.

The illuminated red bicycle light shall be taken to indicate that the cyclist, PMD rider or pedestrian shall not cross the road.

The illuminated green bicycle light shall be taken to indicate that the cyclist, PMD rider or pedestrian may cross the road.

The flashing green bicycle light shall be taken to indicate that the red bicycle light is about to be illuminated.
