Multi-phase traffic signals sign

Afrikaans: Meerfaseverkeersseinteken

What it means

To point out that the signals at this intersection does not follow the normal sequence. At a normal intersection you would expect that the signal in your direction will change to green after the signal for cross traffic was yellow. At this intersection your signal may remain red whilst the signal in the opposite direction changes to green. Do not move off when approaching traffic moves off. Wait until the signal is green. The sequence of the traffic signals at this intersection can be different during normal and during peak times.

Om aan te dui dat die seine by hierdie kruising nie die normale volgorde volg nie. By 'n normale kruising sou jy verwag dat die sein in jou rigting na groen sal verander nadat die sein vir kruisverkeer geel was. By hierdie kruising mag jou sein rooi bly terwyl die sein in die teenoorgestelde rigting na groen verander. Moenie wegtrek wanneer naderende verkeer wegtrek nie. Wag totdat die sein groen is. Die volgorde van die verkeersligte by hierdie kruising kan verskil gedurende normale en gedurende spitstye.

Where you’ll see it

At intersections at the same pole as traffic signals (robot) under signal head.

By kruisings op dieselfde paal as verkeersligte (robot), onder die seinkop.
