17. Significance of light signals
(1) The significance of light signals prescribed by regulation 16 shall be as follows-
(a) subject to paragraph (d), the red light signal shall indicate the prohibition that vehicular traffic shall not proceed beyond the stop line on the carriageway provided in conjunction with the light signals or, if the stop line is not for the time being visible or there is no stop line, beyond the light signals;
(b) subject to paragraph (d), where an amber with red light signal is provided, the amber with red light signal shall indicate an imminent change in the indication given by the light signals from red to green or from red to a green arrow but shall not alter the prohibition conveyed by the red light signal;
(c) the green light signal (where a green light signal is provided) shall indicate that, subject to regulation 10, vehicular traffic may pass the light signals and proceed straight on or to the left or to the right;
(d) a green arrow during such time as it is illuminated shall indicate that vehicular traffic may pass the light signals and may, subject to complying with any prescribed traffic sign or prescribed road marking, proceed only in the direction indicated by the arrow notwithstanding any other indication given by the light signals;
(e) where an amber light signal is provided it shall, when shown alone, indicate the prohibition that vehicular traffic shall not proceed beyond the stop line or, if the stop line is not for the time being visible or there is no stop line, beyond the light signals, except in the case of any vehicle which when the light signal first appears is so close to the stop line or light signals that it cannot safely be stopped before passing the stop line or light signals;
