Figure 4D-19. Typical Position and Arrangements of Separate Signal Faces with Flashing Yellow Arrow for Protected/Permissive Mode and Protected Only Mode Right Turns

This figure shows the position and arrangements of separate signal faces with flashing yellow arrow for protected/permissive mode and protected only mode right turns. A legend shows a black arrow indicating the direction of travel on the roadway.

The figure shows two types of examples. The first example is labeled "A – Typical Position." It shows three signals aligned horizontally on a horizontal pole over a vertical segment of three lanes of a roadway. An upward-pointing black arrow is shown in the left and middle lanes denoting the direction of travel as straight through, and a white right-turn arrow is shown marked in the right lane. The left signal is shown above the left lane as a vertical arrangement of circular red, circular yellow, and circular green signal indications. The middle signal is shown above the center lane as a vertical arrangement of circular red, circular yellow, and circular green signal indications. The right signal is shown above the right-turn lane as a vertical arrangement of right-turn red arrow, right-turn steady yellow arrow, right-turn flashing yellow arrow, and right-turn green arrow signal indications. A note states the right-turn flashing yellow arrow "shall not be displayed when operated in the protected only mode."

The second type of example is labeled "B – Typical Arrangements." It shows four arrangements:

  • The first arrangement shows a vertical arrangement of four signal indications – right-turn red arrow, right-turn steady yellow arrow, right-turn flashing yellow arrow, and right-turn green arrow. A note states the right-turn flashing yellow arrow "shall not be displayed when operated in the protected only mode."
  • The second arrangement shows a horizontal arrangement of the four signal indications shown in the first arrangement.
  • The third arrangement shows a vertical arrangement of four signal indications – circular red, right-turn steady yellow arrow, right-turn flashing yellow arrow, and right-turn green arrow. A note states the right-turn flashing yellow arrow "shall not be displayed when operated in the protected only mode." A second note indicates that this face "would be used if it is intended that a right turn on red after stop be permitted; a RIGHT TURN SIGNAL (R10-10R) sign shall be used with this face if the red indication is not visibility limited."
  • The fourth arrangement shows a horizontal arrangement of the four signal indications shown in the third arrangement, with a note indicating that this face "would be used if it is intended that a right turn on red after stop be permitted; a RIGHT TURN SIGNAL (R10-10R) sign shall be used with this face if the red indication is not visibility limited."
