over the new traffic light system at Crow Lane.

Spokesman Mr. Marshall Minors said he didn't expect people to experience much trouble with the crossing because the lights worked in a similar manner to others in Bermuda.

However, one difference is that motorists can go through the flashing amber lights if there are no pedestrians on the crossing.

Mr. Minors said the traffic lights show green until a pedestrian presses the button. Then the light turns to a constant amber.

Red follows, and requires all vehicles to stop. Flashing amber follows the red and allows vehicles to pass through only if no one is crossing the road. Green gives vehicles right of way.

Mr. Marshall said the north roadway or out-of-town lane has the added feature of an amber warning signal light about 150 feet before the main stop lights.

When they are lit, they should be seen as a warning to alert motorists to prepare to stop for pedestrians ahead.

Mr. Marshall said the rules of the road were the same for pedestrians. He said they must press the button and wait for the walking man signal to light before crossing. The orange hand indicates that pedestrians must not cross.
