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 colour 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 in crossing the road must hurry the crossing, and if the road is provided with a refuge or a space prohibited to the traffic of vehicles, to wait on it for the appearance of the green colour signal.

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