Verdrag inzake verkeerstekens
1. (a) Where a signalling system is installed at a level-crossing to give warning of the approach of trains or of the imminent closing of the gates (barriers) or half-gates (half-barriers), it shall consist of a red flashing light or of red lights flashing alternately, as specified in Article 23, paragraph 1 (b), of this Convention. However: (i) Flashing red lights may be supplemented or replaced by light signals of the three-colour red-amber-green system described in Article 23, paragraph 2, of this Convention, or by such a signal without the green light, if other three-colour light signals are installed on the road near the level-crossing or if the crossing is equipped with gates;
(ii) On earth-tracks (dirt roads) where traffic is very light and on footpaths, only a sound signal need be used.
(i) Flashing red lights may be supplemented or replaced by light signals of the three-colour red-amber-green system described in Article 23, paragraph 2, of this Convention, or by such a signal without the green light, if other three-colour light signals are installed on the road near the level-crossing or if the crossing is equipped with gates;
(ii) On earth-tracks (dirt roads) where traffic is very light and on footpaths, only a sound signal need be used.
(b) The light signals may be supplemented by a sound signal in all cases.
2. The light signals shall be installed on the edge of the carriageway appropriate to the direction of traffic; whenever conditions such as the visibility of the signals or the density of traffic so require, the lights shall be repeated on the other side of the road. However, if it is considered preferable because of local conditions, the lights may be repeated on an island in the middle of the carriageway, or placed above the carriageway.
3. In accordance with Article 10, paragraph 4, of this Convention, sign B, 2, “STOP”, may be set up at a level-crossing which has neither gates, half-gates nor light signals giving warning of the approach of trains; at level-crossings where this sign is displayed, drivers shall stop at the stop line or, in the absence of such a line, level with the sign and not move off again until they have ascertained that no train is approaching.
(ii) On earth-tracks (dirt roads) where traffic is very light and on footpaths, only a sound signal need be used.
(i) Flashing red lights may be supplemented or replaced by light signals of the three-colour red-amber-green system described in Article 23, paragraph 2, of this Convention, or by such a signal without the green light, if other three-colour light signals are installed on the road near the level-crossing or if the crossing is equipped with gates;
(ii) On earth-tracks (dirt roads) where traffic is very light and on footpaths, only a sound signal need be used.
