sec.316 When do traffic control devices comply substantially with this regulation

A traffic sign complies substantially with this regulation if— it is a reasonable likeness of a diagram in schedule 2 or 3 of that kind of traffic sign; or for a traffic sign of a kind for which there is not a diagram in schedule 2 or 3 —it complies substantially with a description of that kind of traffic sign in this regulation and, if the description includes a symbol for which there is a diagram in schedule 4 , the symbol on the sign is a reasonable likeness of the diagram. A road marking complies substantially with this regulation if it complies substantially with a description of that kind of road marking in this regulation and, if the description includes a symbol for which there is a diagram in schedule 4 , the symbol in the road marking is a reasonable likeness of the diagram. A traffic control device (except a traffic sign or a road marking) complies substantially with this regulation if the device complies substantially with a description of that kind of traffic control device in this regulation and, if the description includes a symbol for which there is a diagram in schedule 4 , the symbol on the device is a reasonable likeness of the diagram. A red and white post temporarily missing from a children’s crossing complies substantially with the description of a children’s crossing under section 80 (6) . A traffic sign may be a reasonable likeness of a diagram of a kind of traffic sign mentioned in this regulation even though— the dimensions of the sign, or of anything on the sign, are different; or the sign has additional information on or with it; or the number on the sign is different; or the sign has a different number of panels; or the sign is combined on a single panel with 1 or more other traffic signs; or for a parking control sign—words, figures, symbols, or anything else, on the sign are differently arranged; or for a bus lane sign, emergency stopping lane only sign, one-way sign or parking control sign—the sign has an arrow pointing in a different direction; or for a separated footpath sign or an end separated footpath sign—the pedestrian and bicycle symbols are reversed; or for a road access sign—information on or with the sign indicates (whether by different wording or in another way) that it applies to different or additional vehicles or persons; or there is a variation in shade or brightness between a colour on the sign and the equivalent colour in the diagram. A speed limit sign near a school may say that the sign has effect at certain times. This additional information does not prevent the sign being a reasonable likeness of the diagram of a speed limit sign in schedule 2 . The diagram of the area speed limit sign in schedule 2 has the number ‘60’. A particular area speed limit sign may have another number, for example, ‘50’. The different number on the sign does not prevent the sign being a reasonable likeness of the diagram. A school zone sign may have the indicated speed limit, the words ‘school zone’, and the times of operation, on a single panel or separate panels. An end bicycle path sign may have the word ‘end’ on a separate panel or on the same panel as the rest of the sign. A no parking sign that operates at certain times may be combined on a single panel with a permissive parking sign allowing pay parking at other times. A permissive parking sign limiting parking to 2 hours may have the time limit above, or below, the word ‘parking’. The diagram of the road access sign in schedule 2 says ‘no pedestrians bicycles animals beyond this point’. The replacement of the word ‘bicycles’ by the word ‘tractors’ on a particular sign does not prevent the sign being a reasonable likeness of the diagram. A variable illuminated message sign may also be a reasonable likeness of a diagram of a kind of traffic sign in schedule 2 or 3 even though the colour of the sign, or of anything else on the sign, is different. A symbol on or in a traffic control device may be a reasonable likeness of a diagram of a kind of symbol mentioned in this regulation even though the dimensions of the symbol, or of anything on the symbol, are different. In this section— panel includes a board, plate and screen. s 316 amd 2014 SL No. 279 s 30 (sec.316-ssec.1) A traffic sign complies substantially with this regulation if— it is a reasonable likeness of a diagram in schedule 2 or 3 of that kind of traffic sign; or for a traffic sign of a kind for which there is not a diagram in schedule 2 or 3 —it complies substantially with a description of that kind of traffic sign in this regulation and, if the description includes a symbol for which there is a diagram in schedule 4 , the symbol on the sign is a reasonable likeness of the diagram.
