Traffic signals

Transit priority signal

What it means

A steady white rectangular light. Only buses may go on this signal; other traffic waits for its own light.

Traffic lights, lane-control and pedestrian signals.

Summarised from ICBC’s Learn to Drive Smart. Read the original: Signs signals and road markings ↗

How to recognise it

A steady white rectangular light, drawn here as a white vertical bar in its own lamp above the red.

Where you will see it

At some intersections on bus routes, mounted with the regular traffic lights.

What to do when you see it

  1. 1.If you are not driving a bus, ignore the white light and obey your own traffic light.
  2. 2.Expect a bus beside you to move off while your light is still red, and do not follow it.

On the knowledge test

Only buses may go on this signal. A question may offer "all vehicles may proceed" or "proceed with caution": both are wrong for anyone who is not driving a bus.
