LIGHT SIGNAL CROSSING





SCHEDULE 4 [regs. 2, 3, 30 & 59]

ZEBRA CROSSING AND LIGHT SIGNAL CROSSINGS

1. (1) Every zebra crossing shall be indicated, in accordance with Figure No. 801, by alternate
black and white stripes not less than 500 tran nor more than 700 mm in width and parallel to the
side of the carriageway except that the width of the first stripe at each end of the crossing may be
increased to not more than 1300 nun:
Provided that-
(a)these provisions shall be regarded as having been complied with in the case of any
zebra crossing which for the most part complies with these provisions notwith-
standing that there may be some variation in the exact width of such stripes so long
as the general indication of the stripes is not thereby impaired; and
(b)where the colour of the surface of the carriageway provides a reasonable contrast
with the colour white that surface may itself be utilized for providing stripes which
would otherwise be required to be black.
(2) The limits of a zebra crossing shall be indicated by studs placed along each edge, which
studs shall be not less than 250 mm nor more than 700 mm apart and the first stud shall be not
more than 1250 mm from the edge of the carriageway.
(3) A zebra crossing shall be not less than 2.5 m in width.
2. A zebra crossing or its limits shall not be deemed to have ceased to be indicated in accordance
with the provisions of this Schedule by reason only of the imperfection, displacement or
discolouration of any one or more of its stripes or studs, so long as the general indication of the
zebra crossing and its limits is not thereby materially impaired.
3. (1) The road markings which are to be placed on a road in the vicinity of a zebra crossing for
the purpose of constituting a zebra controlled area lying on both sides of the limits of the zebra
crossing or on only one side of such limits and indicating the presence and the limits of such an
area, shall consist of a pattern of lines of the size and type shown in Figure No. 802 and so placed as
hereinafter provided.
(2) A pattern of lines shall, subject as hereinafter provided, consist of-
(a)a transverse white broken line (hereinafter referred to as a -give-way line') placed on
the carriageway 1 m from and parallel to the nearer fine of studs indicating the limits
of the zebra crossing and shall extend across the carriageway in the manner indicated
in Figure No. 802; and
(b)2 or more longitudinal white broken lines (hereinafter referred to as 'zig-zag lines')
placed on the carriageway or, where the road is a dual carriageway road, on each part
of the carriageway, each zig-zag line containing not less than 8 nor more than 18
marks and extending away from the zebra crossing at a point 150 mM from the
nearest part of the give-way line on the same side of the zebra crossing to a point 150
mm from the nearest part of a terminal fine of the size and type shown in the said
Figure (hereinafter referred to as a 'terminal line').
(3) Where the Commissioner is satisfied in relation to a particular area of carriageway in the
vicinity of a zebra crossing that by reason of the layout of, or character of, the roads in the vicinity
of the zebra crossing it would be impracticable to lay the pattern of lines as shown in Figure No.
802 and in accordance with subparagraph (2), any of the following variations as respects the pattern
shall be permitted-
(a)the minimum number of marks contained in each zig-zag line may be reduced from 8
to not less than 2;
(b)a mark contained in a zig-zag line may be varied in length so as to extend for a
distance not less than 1 m and not more than 2 m, but where such a variation is made
as respects a mark each other mark in each zig-zag line shall be of the same or
substantially the same length as that mark, so however that the number of marks in
each zig-zag line shall not be more than 8 nor less than 2.
(4) The angle of the give-way line (if any) in relation to, and its distance from, the nearer line
of studs indicating the limits of a zebra crossing may be varied, if the Director is satisfied that such
variation is necessary having regard to the angle of the zebra crossing in relation to the edge of the
carriageway at the place where the zebra crossing is situated.





(5) Where an area of carriageway in the vicinity of a zebra crossing is not constituted a zebra
controlled area by the placing of a pattern of lines, a give-way line shall nevertheless be placed on
the carriageway unless the Commissioner is satisfied that by reason of the position of that zebra
crossing it is impracticable so to place the line. (L.N. 263 of 1984)
(6) Each mark contained in a give-way line or in a zig-zag line and each terminal line may be
illuminated by the use of reflecting material.
(7) A zebra controlled area or its limits shall not be deemed to have ceased to be indicated in
accordance with the provisions of this Schedule by reason only of the imperfection, discolouration
or partial displacement of either a terminal line or one or more of the marks comprised in a
give-way line or a zig-zag line, so long as the general indication of any such line is not thereby
materially impaired.
4. (1) A zebra crossing shall be marked with a yellow globe not less than 280 rmn nor more than
500 mm in diameter mounted on a post or bracket at or near each end of the zebra crossing so that
the height of the lowest part of the globe is not less than 2 m nor more than 3 m above the surface
of the ground in the immediate vicinity.
(2) Where a globe is mounted or attached to a post specially provided for that purpose, the
post shall be coloured with alternate black and white bands, each band being not less than 280 mm
nor more than 330 nun in depth, except that the lowest band shall he coloured black and be not less
than 280 mm nor more than 1000 rmn in depth.
(3) A globe may be illuminated by a flashing light or by a constant light.
(4) Where, on a zebra crossing, there is a pedestrian refuge or central reservation, the zebra
crossing may be additionally marked by a globe mounted on a post, conforming with
subparagraphs (1) and (2) and erected on the pedestrian refuge or central reservation.
5. (1) The limits of a light signal crossing prescribed by regulation 33 shall be indicated in
accordance with Figure No. 803, by studs placed along each edge, which studs shall be not less than
250 mm nor more than 700 mm apart and the first stud shall be not more than 1250 mm from the
edge of the carriageway.
(2) A light signal crossing or its limits shall not be deemed to have ceased to be indicated in
accordance with this Schedule by reason only of the temporary removal, displacement or
discolouration of one or more of its studs, so long as the general indication of the crossing is not
thereby materially impaired.
6. Studs used to indicate the limits of a zebra crossing on a light signal crossing shall not be fitted
with reflecting lenses and shall be-
(a) white, silver or light grey in colour;
(b)square or circular in plan, the sides of a square stud not being less than 95 mm nor
more than 110 mm in length and the diameter of a circular stud not being less than 95
nun nor more than 110 mm; and
(c)so fixed that they do not project more than 16 nun above the carriageway at their
highest points nor more than 7 mm at their edges.
