Latvian signal groups

In Latvia, signal groups refer to the different classifications of traffic lights and signals used to regulate vehicle and pedestrian movement at intersections and roadways. The traffic signals in Latvia typically follow European Union standards and guidelines. Here are the main types of signal groups used: 1. **Traffic Lights for Vehicles**: - **Red Light**: Stop. - **Yellow Light**: Prepare to stop (caution). - **Green Light**: Go. 2. **Pedestrian Signals**: - **Green Man**: Pedestrians may cross the road. - **Red Man**: Pedestrians must not cross. 3. **Flashing Signals**: - **Flashing Yellow**: Warning for drivers to proceed with caution. - **Flashing Red**: Stop and proceed only when safe, often found at intersections. 4. **Additional Signaling for Special Vehicles**: - Signals for trams or buses may have specific indicators to prioritize their movement. 5. **Supplementary Indicators**: - Arrows indicating permitted movements (e.g., left turn, right turn). - Additional signals can include warning signs for specific conditions (like speed limits or road works). Traffic regulations are enforced by local authorities, and it's important for drivers and pedestrians to familiarize themselves with these signals to ensure safety on the road.
