In South Africa, traffic lights are called
"robots". They operate in almost the same way as in
the UK, but with a few important differences.
-
If you are turning left or right, you should
give way to pedestrians crossing the road on the
left or right.
-
A flashing green arrow indicates you may
turn in the direction indicated.
-
A flashing red arrow on your left indicates
that you may turn if no other traffic is
approaching.
-
A steady red or green arrow indicates that
you may proceed with caution.
-
When traffic lights are out of order, treat the intersection as a
stop-street.

These junctions involve three or four
streets coming together, and each vehicle
taking it in turn to move forward, dependent
on the order in which they reached the stop
line.
-
Even if you are the only vehicle approaching the
stop street, you must always come to a
complete stop before proceeding.
-
If there are any other vehicles at
the stop line on their respective
street, they each have the right of way
before it is your turn.
-
If you stop at the same time as another
vehicle, common courtesy applies and either
vehicle may proceed first.
