Lines in junction

[seasickstevie]

These three small lines have started to appear in various traffic light junctions.

Seem like a new thing. What do they mean?

Have a look at the TSRGD 2016

If they are not in that then they mean absolutely nothing.
(I cannot find it in the above).

It's not unheard of for highway dept's to make their own signs and markings up.


Why in the top pic, just in front of the amber traffic light - is there a turn right arrow thats got no road behind it?
Some cycle path perhaps?
could they be anything to do with that?

When you do find out please let us know, lives may depend upon it

You're right, the arrows do look a bit odd, but they're just meant to direct you to keep to the right when turning right.
For example, if I was turning right, and the blue car opposite was turning right, I would stay to his/her left, and (s)he would stay to my left.

Unlike some junctions where you keep left of each other.

Thanks for replying. I scanned through your links, but I can't find it either.

Amber light?

I'm sorry to tell you that you have failed the driving test today Mr. mattylad !!

We have had them painted on the roads too, along side some cameras on top of the lights presumably to cath people jumping the lights or speeding through them, or indeed to apportion blame in the event of a shunt.

We have a local roundabout which is not a roundabout [just brick pattern in the road, no signage] and crossings which are not crossings [again just patterns in the road surface].
