9.10.1 Arterial Reversion
After a phase has gained ROW, if there are no other demands then ROW will remain
on that phase. The arterial reversion facility allows ROW to revert to a specified stage
or phase in the absence of any demands and extensions, subject to any minimum green
periods timing off and any stage movement restrictions.
If a stage is specified, then the reversion will always be to that stage, but if a phase is
specified, then reversion will be to the next stage in cyclic order in which that phase
appears.
If ROW is on a phase that is extending with no other demands or extensions and that
phase appears in the arterial stage or appears in another stage with the arterial phase,
then a change to that stage will take place.
The name of the facility is derived from its normal use, which is for intersections with a
main (or arterial) movement. During quiet periods, especially at night, ROW will revert
to the main movement after a side road has had ROW, so that isolated vehicles on the
main movement will not have to demand ROW and then wait for an intergreen period
from the side road to time off. In this case, a stage would normally be specified for
reversion.
Another use of the facility is on bridges with shuttle working. If the all-red movement
is reverted to then isolated vehicles from either direction would only have to wait for a
red/amber period before gaining ROW. If more than one all-red stage is used with the
same dummy phase in each stage, then this phase would be specified for reversion
allowing the next all-red stage in cyclic order to become active.
Figure 21.5 indicates where to specify the required stage or phase.
