Artikel 47
Protocol nopens de verkeerstekens
1. If a signalling system is installed at a level-crossing to give warning of the approach of a train or of the imminent closing of the gates or half-gates, it shall consist either
(a) subject to the provisions of paragraph 4 of this article, of a flashing red light or two red lights flashing alternately and placed on the same post; such light or lights being accompanied or not being accompanied by a sound signal; or
(b) of a simple sound signal.
2. (a) All level-crossings equipped with gates or half-gates operated from a box from which the gates are not visible shall be equipped with the signalling system described in paragraph I(a) or in paragraph l(b) above;
(b) All level-crossings equipped with gates or half-gates operated automatically by the approach of trains shall be equipped with the signalling system described in paragraph l(a) above.
3. The signal provided for in paragraph 1 of this article means that no road-user may pass.
4. Exceptionally, on roads where the level-crossing is near an intersection equipped with the traffic light signals described in article 53 of this Protocol, the signalling referred to in paragraph 1 of the present article may be replaced either by the three-colour light system described in the aforesaid article 53 or by the amber and red lights only of that system; the amber and red lights shall then have for all road-users the meaning indicated in article 53 for vehicular traffic. In the event of such replacement, the approach sign provided for by paragraph 1 or paragraph 2 of article 15 may be dispensed with if, by reason of local conditions, it would be difficult to affix it in such a way that it would be sufficiently visible.
5. At every level-crossing equipped with gates or half-gates the operation of which is controlled automatically by the approach of a train or is controlled from an operating box from which the gates or half-gates are not visible, the closing movement of the gates or halfgates shall be such that road-users approaching the crossing or already on it when the signalling device comes into operation shall have time to stop before reaching the crossing, or to clear it.
