ZEBRA CROSSING AND LIGHT SIGNAL CROSSINGS
30/06/1997
[regulations 2, 3, 30 & 59]
1.
(1) Every zebra crossing shall be indicated, in accordance with Figure No. 801, by
alternate black and white stripes not less than 500 mm nor more than 700 mm in width and parallel to the side of the
carriageway except that the width of the first stripe at each end of the crossing may be increased to not more than 1
300 mm:
Provided that(a) these provisions shall be regarded as having been complied with in the case of any zebra crossing
which for the most part complies with these provisions notwith- standing that there may be some
variation in the exact width of such stripes so long as the general indication of the stripes is not thereby
impaired; and
(b) where the colour of the surface of the carriageway provides a reasonable contrast with the colour white
that surface may itself be utilized for providing stripes which would otherwise be required to be black.
(2) The limits of a zebra crossing shall be indicated by studs placed along each edge, which studs shall be not
less than 250 mm nor more than 700 mm apart and the first stud shall be not more than 1 250 mm from the edge of the
carriageway:
(3) A zebra crossing shall be not less than 2.5 m in width.
2.
A zebra crossing or its limits shall not be deemed to have ceased to be indicated in
accordance with the provisions of this Schedule by reason only of the imperfection, displacement or discolouration of
any one or more of its stripes or studs, so long as the general indication of the zebra crossing and its limits is not
thereby materially impaired.
3.
(1) The road markings which are to be placed on a road in the vicinity of a zebra crossing
for the purpose of constituting a zebra controlled area lying on both sides of the limits of the zebra crossing or on only
one side of such limits and indicating the presence and the limits of such an area, shall consist of a pattern of lines of
the size and type shown in Figure No. 802 and so placed as hereinafter provided.
(2) A pattern of lines shall, subject as hereinafter provided, consist of(a) a transverse white broken line (hereinafter referred to as a "give-way line") placed on the carriageway
1 m from and parallel to the nearer line of studs indicating the limits of the zebra crossing and shall
extend across the carriageway in the manner indicated in Figure No. 802; and
(b) 2 or more longitudinal white broken lines (hereinafter referred to as "zig-zag lines") placed on the
carriageway or, where the road is a dual carriageway road, on each part of the carriageway, each zigzag line containing not less than 8 nor more than 18 marks and extending away from the zebra crossing
at a point 150 mm from the nearest part of the give-way line on the same side of the zebra crossing to a
point 150 mm from the nearest part of a terminal line of the size and type shown in the said Figure
(hereinafter referred to as a "terminal line").
(3) Where the Commissioner is satisfied in relation to a particular area of carriageway in the vicinity of a zebra
crossing that by reason of the layout of, or character of, the roads in the vicinity of the zebra crossing it would be
impracticable to lay the pattern of lines as shown in Figure No. 802 and in accordance with subparagraph (2), any of
the following variations as respects the pattern shall be permitted(a) the minimum number of marks contained in each zig-zag line may be reduced from 8 to not less than
2;
(b) a mark contained in a zig-zag line may be varied in length so as to extend for a distance not less than 1
m and not more than 2 m, but where such a variation is made as respects a mark each other mark in
each zig-zag line shall be of the same or substantially the same length as that mark, so however that the
number of marks in each zig-zag line shall not be more than 8 nor less than 2.
(4) The angle of the give-way line (if any) in relation to, and its distance from, the nearer line of studs
indicating the limits of a zebra crossing may be varied, if the Director is satisfied that such variation is necessary
having regard to the angle of the zebra crossing in relation to the edge of the carriageway at the place where the zebra
crossing is situated.
(5) Where an area of carriageway in the vicinity of a zebra crossing is not constituted a zebra controlled area by
the placing of a pattern of lines, a give-way line shall nevertheless be placed on the carriageway unless the
Cap 374G - ROAD TRAFFIC (TRAFFIC CONTROL) REGULATIONS
112
Commissioner is satisfied that by reason of the position of that zebra crossing it is impracticable so to place the line.
(L.N. 263 of 1984)
(6) Each mark contained in a give-way line or in a zig-zag line and each terminal line may be illuminated by
the use of reflecting material.
(7) A zebra controlled area or its limits shall not be deemed to have ceased to be indicated in accordance with
the provisions of this Schedule by reason only of the imperfection, discolouration or partial displacement of either a
terminal line or one or more of the marks comprised in a give- way line or a zig-zag line, so long as the general
indication of any such line is not thereby materially impaired.
4.
(1) A zebra crossing shall be marked with a yellow globe not less than 280 mm nor more
than 500 mm in diameter mounted on a post or bracket at or near each end of the zebra crossing so that the height of
the lowest part of the globe is not less than 2 m nor more than 3 m above the surface of the ground in the immediate
vicinity.
(2) Where a globe is mounted or attached to a post specially provided for that purpose, the post shall be
coloured with alternate black and white bands, each band being not less than 280 mm nor more than 330 mm in depth,
except that the lowest band shall be coloured black and be not less than 280 mm nor more than 1000 mm in depth.
(3) A globe may be illuminated by a flashing light or by a constant light.
(4) Where, on a zebra crossing, there is a pedestrian refuge or central reservation, the zebra crossing may be
additionally marked by a globe mounted on a post, conforming with subparagraphs (1) and (2) and erected on the
pedestrian refuge or central reservation.
5.
(1) The limits of a light signal crossing prescribed by regulation 33 shall be indicated in
accordance with Figure No. 803, by studs placed along each edge, which studs shall be not less than 250 mm nor more
than 700 mm apart and the first stud shall be not more than 1 250 mm from the edge of the carriageway.
(2) A light signal crossing or its limits shall not be deemed to have ceased to be indicated in accordance with
this Schedule by reason only of the temporary removal, displacement or discolouration of one or more of its studs, so
long as the general indication of the crossing is not thereby materially impaired.
6.
Studs used to indicate the limits of a zebra crossing on a light signal crossing shall not be
fitted with reflecting lenses and shall be(a) white, silver or light grey in colour;
(b) square or circular in plan, the sides of a square stud not being less than 95 mm nor more than 110 mm
in length and the diameter of a circular stud not being less than 95 mm nor more than 110 mm; and
(c) so fixed that they do not project more than 16 mm above the carriageway at their highest points nor
more than 7 mm at their edges.

(1) The colour of the light shown by a lantern referred to in paragraph 2 whether steady
or intermittent, shall be amber and the external surfaces of the body of the lantern shall be coloured yellow.
(2) Lanterns may be so constructed that light is emitted from 1, 2 or 3 sides or from every horizontal direction
but each lens or light enclosure of the lantern shall be(a) if the light so shown is emitted from the lantern in only 1, 2 or 3 horizontal directions, of such shape
and size that the perimeter of its horizontally projected area on to any vertical plane shall be capable of
lying wholly inside a circle having a diameter of 190 mm and wholly outside a circle having a
diameter of 100 mm; and
(b) if the light so shown is emitted from the lamp in every horizontal direction, of such shape and size that
the perimeter of its horizontally projected area on to any vertical plane shall be capable of lying wholly
within a square having sides of 125 mm and wholly outside a square having sides of 40 mm in length.
