116 Operation and performance of warning lights

(1) When operating, a warning light must display regular flashes of yellow light at a rate of at least 90, and not over 180, flashes a minute. (2) The warning lights at the same end of the bus must flash alternately. (3) Unless the driver has turned the warning lights off, they must operate automatically when a door on the bus opens and for at least 10, and not over 20, seconds after all the doors on the bus have closed. (4) The bus must have a visible or audible signal that tells the driver when the warning lights are operating. (5) The bus must be fitted with a switch that allows the driver to turn the warning lights off. (6) A warning light must have: (a) an effective lit lens area of at least 60 square centimetres; and (b) a luminous intensity (in candela) of at least the values mentioned in the following table when measured at the angles mentioned in the table.
