Subject to paragraphs (2), (3), (4), (5) and (6), where the light signals prescribed by regulation 33 (whether or not varied in accordance with regulation 34) (“the regulation 33 signals”) or 47 are mounted on a post or other support specially provided for the purpose (“the post”), no other signs may be mounted on the post or affixed, whether directly or indirectly, to those light signals.
One of each of the signs shown in diagrams 606, 612, 613, 614, 616, 954.5, 954.6 and 954.7 may be affixed to the regulation 33 signals, but only if those signs are so placed that they face the stream of traffic to which they are intended to convey the warnings, information, requirements, restrictions or prohibitions prescribed by the Regulations.
One of each of the signs shown in diagrams 606, 612, 613, 614 and 616 may, in addition to or instead of being affixed to the regulation 33 signals, be mounted on the post, but only if—
those signs are, when mounted on the post, so placed that they face the stream of traffic to which they are intended to convey the warnings, information, requirements, restrictions or prohibitions prescribed by the Regulations; and
where the sign shown in any particular one of those diagrams is, in addition to being mounted on the post, affixed to the light signals, the sign shown in that diagram does not, when mounted on the post, face the same stream of traffic as is faced by the sign which is shown in that diagram and affixed to the light signals.
