Who's got the knowledge?

Right, my missus is doing her theory car practise at the moment, we have these red lights by the raf base for when a plane is flying over, but have never seen the amber on? Her theory book does also not explain the amber...

Can anyone help? :nenau

I think the amber light flashes before the barriers come down, then goes off and the red lights flash alternately, siren on from the amber light until the barriers go up/red lights off.

Hmmm, there's no barriers at our one :nenau

Automatic level crossing lights
Amber lights will initially be seen along with audible warning sound, followed by flashing red lights. These are to warn a train is approaching and that the level crossing barriers will come down. Upon seeing either the amber or red flashing lights you must stop. Although the red lights will flash all the time that the barriers are down, the audible warning may stop.


Open level crossing lights
Open level crossings use the St Andrew's cross. Open level crossings have no gates or barriers
As with automatic crossings, you must always stop when the traffic light signals show and only proceed when the lights are extinguished.

Same as above...
