Tram traffic lights<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The tram traffic light is a triangular signal with two red lights at the top and one yellow light at the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • The tram traffic lights work on a different principle than the traditional traffic lights. When there is no tram in the vicinity, the tram traffic light are off and the traffic follows familiar rules.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Tram traffic lights are used to direct other traffic in order to ensure free passage for the tram.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Tram traffic lights provide the tram with right of way also in a traffic circle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Special attention is needed at intersections. Road traffic must anticipate when driving at an intersection that it will be able to cross throughout the intersection during the green light.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Operating principle of tram traffic lights:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. A signal that displays a rapidly flashing yellow light tells road users to be extra cautious<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. When a solid yellow light goes on for 3-5 seconds, cars should stop<\/strong> if this can be done safely. The tram is approaching!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. One\/two solid red lights go on, which means that cars must not enter an intersection<\/strong> because the tram is coming.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. After the tram has passed, the tram traffic light will flash yellow for a few seconds and then the lights will go off and traffic can continue according to the normal rules.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>
