The red/amber period is normally 2 seconds and the amber period is normally 3
seconds.
Alternative signal sequences, e.g. RED-GREEN-AMBER-RED, may be obtained if
required.
In the example in Figure 21.2 and Figure 21.3, phases A,B,E and F are traffic phases.
3.2.2 Pedestrian Phase
A pedestrian phase controls pedestrian movements via a 2-aspect signal comprising red
and green man plus a WAIT indicator.
The standard signal sequence is as follows:
RED MAN - at no ROW
GREEN MAN - at ROW
BLACKOUT - changing to no ROW
Alternative signal sequences, e.g. RED MAN - GREEN MAN - AMBER MAN, or
RED MAN - GREEN MAN - FLASHING GREEN MAN, or others may be obtained
if required.
The WAIT indicator uses the amber aspect drive (if not used for anything else, see
section 3.2.53.2.5(b)) and is illuminated when a demand is inserted for the pedestrian
phase from a pedestrian push-button unit. It will remain illuminated until the pedestrian
phase gains ROW when it will be extinguished. During the green man period demands
for the pedestrian phase are disregarded but they will be accepted during the blackout
period and thus illuminate the WAIT indicator.
A pedestrian phase is not extendible. However, if it appears in the same stage as a
traffic or green arrow phase and they are extended, the pedestrian phase will be held at
green.
In the example in Figure 21.2 and Figure 21.3, phase G is a pedestrian phase.
3.2.2(a) MCE0141 Audible Indication (Low Voltage)
It is possible to have audible indication when a pedestrian phase is at green, if required.
This may be sounded for the entire period of green or just for a minimum period.
The audible units fit into the pedestrian push-button units. Up to two may be fitted to
give an alternative of loud for daytime use and soft for night time, switched by the
master time clock.
For equipment required see section 18.
Note: It is a requirement of the Department of Transport that the audible indication
facility must be accompanied by a Red Lamp Monitoring facility. (See sub-section
19.2).
