Portable Lane Control Signal System
nan
Design of signal systems
 1. (1) Every portable lane control signal system shall consist of at least one portable lane control signal for each direction from which traffic to be controlled by the system approaches. (2) A portable lane control signal shall have a set of lenses that meets the following criteria: 1. The set must contain no lens other than one red lens, one amber lens and one green lens. 2. The lenses in the set must be arranged vertically in the following order, commencing at the bottom: green, amber and red. 3. Each lens in the set must be at least 20 centimetres in diameter.
Signal mount
 2. (1) A portable lane control signal shall be mounted on a yellow backboard that, (a) is not less than 100 centimetres in height and not less than 50 centimetres in width; and (b) is placed so that the bottom edge of the backboard is at least 2.75 metres above the level of the roadway. (2) If a backboard has dimensions greater than 100 centimetres in height and 50 centimetres in width, the increased dimensions must be proportional relative to each other. (3) Figure 1 is an illustration of a portable lane control signal that meets the requirements set out in this section and section 1. Figure 1 Text alternative: Illustration of portable lane control signal. Bottom of signal backboard is 2.75 m above the roadway. The yellow backboard for the portable lane control signal is rectangular in shape measuring 100 cm high and 50 cm wide. Each of the three circular lenses is 20 cm in diameter. This text alternative is provided for convenience only and does not form part of the official law.
Operation and maintenance of signal systems
 3. (1) A portable lane control signal system shall not be operated in such a manner as to show green and amber lenses illuminated simultaneously. (2) Each lamp and each lens in a portable lane control signal shall be maintained so that, when the lamp is illuminated, the lens is clearly visible to approaching traffic at a distance of at least 100 metres.
Placement
 4. (1) A portable lane control signal system shall be placed on a highway such that one portable lane control signal is to the right of, facing and clearly visible to approaching traffic. (2) A portable lane control signal system shall not be located at an intersection or pedestrian crossover. (3) A portable lane control signal system shall not be located in any place or manner so as to conflict with any traffic control signal system.
Automated Flagger Assistance Devices

Use of device
 6. An automated flagger assistance device shall be operated in accordance with this Regulation.
Design of device
 7. (1) Every automated flagger assistance device shall consist of a gate arm and a signal. (2) The signal on an automated flagger assistance device shall have a set of lenses that meets the following criteria: 1. The set must contain no lens other than one red lens and one amber lens. 2. The lenses in the set must be arranged vertically in the following order, commencing at the bottom: amber and red. 3. Each lens in the set must be at least 30 centimetres in diameter.
Signal mount
 8. The signal on an automated flagger assistance device shall be mounted on a black backboard that, (a) is not less than 85 centimetres in height and not less than 50 centimetres in width; (b) has an orange retro-reflective border that is at least 2.5 centimetres in width; and (c) is placed so that the bottom edge of the backboard is at least two metres above the level of the roadway.
Gate arm
 9. (1) The gate arm of an automated flagger assistance device shall meet the following criteria: 1. The gate arm must be at least two metres long and at least 10 centimetres wide. 2. The gate arm must be covered on both sides with alternating vertical contrasting stripes. At least one set of stripes must be made of retro-reflective sheeting. Note: On July 1, 2027, paragraph 2 of subsection 9 (1) of the Regulation is revoked and the following substituted: (See: O. Reg. 185/22, s. 13) 2. The gate arm must be covered on both sides with alternating vertical stripes of orange and black. The orange stripes must be made of retro-reflective sheeting. 3. When lowered, the bottom edge of the gate arm must be not less than 110 centimetres but not more than 140 centimetres above the level of the roadway. (2) Figure 4 is an illustration of an automated flagger assistance device that meets the requirements set out in this section and sections 7 and 8. Figure 4  Text Alternative: Illustration showing an automated flagger assistance device comprising a signal and a gate arm. The signal has a circular red lens stacked vertically above a circular amber lens. The signal has a rectangular black backboard with a 2.5 cm orange, retro-reflective border. The bottom of the backboard is two metres above the roadway. The backboard is 85 cm high and 50 cm wide. Each of the circular lenses is 30 cm in diameter. The gate arm is two metres long and 10 cm wide with alternating vertical black and retro-reflective orange stripes and, when lowered, is between 110 cm and 140 cm above the roadway. This text alternative is provided for convenience only and does not form part of the official law.
Operation and maintenance of device
 10. (1) The gate arm of an automated flagger assistance device shall be horizontal when a red lens is illuminated. (2) The gate arm of an automated flagger assistance device shall be raised when an amber lens is illuminated. (3) An automated flagger assistance device shall not be operated in such a manner as to show amber and red lenses illuminated simultaneously to approaching traffic. (4) To indicate to approaching traffic that the signal is about to change from amber to red, the lenses in the signal of an automated flagger assistance device shall be illuminated in the following sequence: 1. Flashing amber. 2. Solid amber. 3. Solid red. (5) Each lamp and each lens in the signal of an automated flagger assistance device shall be maintained so that, when the lamp is illuminated, the lens is clearly visible to approaching traffic at a distance of at least 165 metres. (6) An automated flagger assistance device shall not be operated unless a traffic control person is positioned close enough to the device to enable the person to immediately display a traffic control stop or slow sign to approaching traffic if the device malfunctions.
Placement
 11. (1) An automated flagger assistance device shall be placed on a highway such that the signal of the device is to the right of, facing and clearly visible to approaching traffic. (2) An automated flagger assistance device shall not be located at an intersection or pedestrian crossover. (3) An automated flagger assistance device shall not be located in any place or manner so as to conflict with any traffic control signal system.
