Zorluk: ZorMotorway Signs and Signals

On a UK motorway, if flashing amber lights are displayed on a matrix signal situated on the central reservation, the hazard warning or advisory speed limit applies only to the lane closest to the central reservation.

Cevap: Cevap

Cevap

False. Flashing amber matrix signals mounted on the central reservation apply across all lanes of the carriageway, not just the lane closest to the central barrier.
Evaluating the statement as False is correct. Under UK Highway Code Rule 258, flashing amber lights warn of a hazard ahead (such as fog, lane closures, or adverse conditions). If these amber lights flash on a signal mounted in the central reservation, the advisory speed limit or warning applies to all lanes on that carriageway.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the signal type, light configuration, and placement
The signal is a motorway matrix sign displaying flashing amber lights located on the central reservation.
Different rules apply depending on whether a matrix signal is mounted directly above an individual lane or situated at the side of the road / on the central reservation.
2
Apply Highway Code Rule 258 regarding matrix signal jurisdiction
Individual lane gantry signals apply only to the specific lane beneath them, whereas central reservation signals govern the entire carriageway.
Central reservation posts act as collective carriageway warnings when individual lane gantries are not present or when a general hazard affects the entire road.
3
Evaluate the validity of the statement
The statement asserts that the signal applies only to the adjacent lane, which directly contradicts the Highway Code.
Because the rule mandates that central reservation signals apply to all lanes, the statement is false.
