1. Traffic lights warning
A traffic lights warning is a warning sign that alerts drivers that traffic signals are located ahead. It is commonly used where the signals may be unexpected, difficult to see from a distance or located on a road where drivers need additional time to prepare to stop.
Drivers approaching a traffic lights warning should reduce speed when necessary, watch for the signals ahead and be prepared to stop if the traffic light changes or traffic is waiting at the intersection.
Which Belgian sign warns of traffic lights ahead?
The Belgian A33 warning sign warns drivers that traffic lights are ahead.
When is the A33 sign used in Belgium?
The A33 sign is particularly used where approaching drivers cannot see the traffic lights from approximately 150 metres away.
Is A33 always placed before Belgian traffic lights?
No. When the traffic lights can already be seen from more than approximately 150 metres, the A33 warning sign should generally be used only exceptionally.
