The traffic lights addressed to pedestrians and cyclists are made up of two units, their colours are:

• red, which prohibits crossing;
• green, which allows crossing.

When the green-coloured signal begins to operate intermittently it means that the time allocated to crossing the road is running out and the red signal follows. In this case the pedestrian caught while crossing the road must hasten the crossing, and if the road is provided with a refuge or an area prohibited to vehicles, wait on it for the appearance of the green-coloured signal.

The intermittent green-coloured signal and the red-coloured signal prohibit pedestrians from engaging in crossing on the carriageway.

The correct answer is: A
