Paragraph 40 Mounting of refuge indicator lamps
Save as provided in paragraph (2), where the lamp prescribed in regulation 45 is mounted on a post specially provided for the purpose—
if the post is placed on a street refuge or central reservation of a zebra crossing and yellow globes are attached to or mounted on the post—
the part of the post between ground level and the point where the yellow globes are mounted or attached shall be coloured black and white in alternate horizontal bands, the lowest band visible to approaching traffic being coloured black and not less than 275 millimetres nor more than 1 metre deep, and each other band being not less than 275 nor more than 335 millimetres deep; and
beyond the point referred to in sub-paragraph (a)(i) any remaining part of the post shall be coloured in accordance with sub-paragraph (b); and
if the post—
is a post placed as mentioned in sub-paragraph (a) but yellow globes are not attached to or mounted on it; or
is placed elsewhere than on a zebra crossing,
the post shall be coloured grey or black but with two white bands (each band being not less than 275 nor more than 335 millimetres deep) so arranged that—
at least 275 nor more than 335 millimetres extend between the nearest edges of the two bands; and
the upper edge of the uppermost band is not less than 275 nor more than 335 millimetres below the lowest part of the lamp,
and the white bands may be internally illuminated.
Where a post of the kind mentioned in paragraph (1) consists of aluminium, concrete or galvanised metal it may remain in its natural colour.
In this paragraph “zebra crossing” has the same meaning as in the 1971 Regulations and “yellow globes” means globes in relation to which Part II of Schedule 2 to the 1971 Regulations is complied with.
