340—Traffic control devices (except road markings and parking control
signs)
(1) A traffic control
device (except a road marking or parking control sign) applies to a person
if—
(a) the
device faces the person; or
(b) the
person has passed the device and the device faced the person as the person
approached it.
Note 1—
"Parking control sign" and "road marking" are defined in the dictionary.
Note 2—
Rule 341 deals with road markings, and rule 346 with parking control signs.
(2) However, the
device does not apply to the person if the position of the device indicates
that it does not apply to the person.
Examples—
1 If a driver is driving in a marked lane of a
multi-lane road, a traffic lane arrow above another marked lane does not apply
to the driver.
2 If a driver is turning left using a slip lane at
an intersection, a traffic light on the right side of the painted island or
traffic island that separates the slip lane from other parts of the road does
not apply to the driver.
3 If a driver is driving on a two-way road, a
speed limit sign facing only traffic travelling in the opposite direction does
not apply to the driver.
