One or more signs illustrated in paragraph 4 of subsection (1).
The signs illustrated in paragraph 4 of subsection (1) shall be continuously illuminated on both sides from the inside and shall project light downward to illuminate the pedestrian crossing from one edge of the roadway to the other.
(1) The sign illustrated in paragraph 1 of subsection 3 (1) or in paragraph 1 of subsection 3 (2) shall be erected,
on both sides of the highway;
in two places on the same standard, mounted back to back, so that the signs face in opposite directions and one sign faces approaching traffic; and
at a point not more than 4 metres from the edge of the roadway, adjacent to the place where the pedestrian crossover illustrated in section 5 meets the edge of the roadway.
The sign illustrated in paragraph 2 of subsection 3 (1) or paragraph 2 of subsection 3 (2) shall be erected in the same manner as and immediately below the sign illustrated in paragraph 1 of the same subsection.
The signs illustrated in paragraph 3 of subsection 3 (1) and paragraph 3 of subsection 3 (2) shall be erected,
on both sides of the highway;
in one place on the standard so that they face approaching traffic;
at a point not more than 4 metres from the edge of the roadway and 30 metres before the place where, from the perspective of approaching vehicular traffic, the pedestrian crossover illustrated in section 5 meets the edge of the roadway; and
such that the sign illustrated in paragraph 3 of subsection 3 (2) is below or to the right of the sign illustrated in paragraph 3 of subsection 3 (1).
Where the roadway has been divided into two clearly marked lanes for traffic, the sign illustrated as Figure 1 of paragraph 4 of subsection 3 (1) shall be erected above the pedestrian crossover facing vehicular traffic as nearly as practicable over the centre of the roadway.
Where the roadway has been divided into more than two clearly marked lanes for traffic, two signs illustrated as Figure 1 of paragraph 4 of subsection 3 (1) shall be erected such that one sign is erected as nearly as practicable over each half of the roadway above the pedestrian crossover facing vehicular traffic.
Where the characteristics of the highway require a combination of the signs illustrated as Figure 1 and Figure 2 in paragraph 4 of subsection 3 (1), the signs shall be erected above the pedestrian crossover facing vehicular traffic as nearly as practicable over the centre of the roadway or over the centre of each half of the roadway.
A sign erected under subsection (4) shall have four circular pedestrian-activated flashing amber beacons such that there are two beacons, mounted back to back, on each end of the sign.
(1) Where Level 1 pedestrian crossover signs are used, a pedestrian crossover that is at an intersection on the highway shall have markings on the surface of the roadway having the dimensions and being the distance from each other illustrated in the following diagram:
Where Level 1 pedestrian crossover signs are used, a pedestrian crossover that is not at an intersection shall have markings on the surface of the roadway having the dimensions and being the distance from each other illustrated in the following diagram:
Level 2 Pedestrian Crossover Signs
(1) Following are the Level 2 pedestrian crossover signs:
Two signs, each not less than 75 centimetres high and not less than 60 centimetres wide, bearing the markings and having the dimensions illustrated in the following Figures:
A sign, not less than 45 centimetres high and not less than 60 centimetres wide, bearing the text and markings and having the dimensions illustrated in the following Figure:
A sign, not less than 75 centimetres high and not less than 60 centimetres wide, bearing the text and markings and having the dimensions illustrated in the following Figure:
A sign, not less than 60 centimetres high and not less than 60 centimetres wide, bearing the markings and having the dimensions illustrated in the following Figure:

The sign illustrated in paragraph 4 of subsection (1).
(1) The signs illustrated in paragraph 1 of subsection 6 (1) shall be erected as follows:
For each direction of travel, each sign shall be erected in two places on the same standard, mounted back to back, so that the signs face in opposite directions and one sign faces approaching traffic.
Each sign shall be at a point not more than 4 metres from the edge of the roadway, adjacent to the place where the pedestrian crossover described and illustrated in section 8 meets the edge of the roadway.
Where the highway is divided into two separate roadways, the sign illustrated as Figure 2 shall be erected on the left side of each roadway facing traffic at a point not more than 4 metres from the edge of the roadway.
The sign illustrated in paragraph 2 of subsection 6 (1) or in paragraph 2 of subsection 6 (2) shall be erected,
in the same manner as and immediately below the signs illustrated in paragraph 1 of subsection 6 (1); and
with the bottom of the sign not less than 1.5 metres from the ground.

The signs illustrated in paragraph 3 of subsection 6 (1) and in paragraph 3 of subsection 6 (2) shall be erected,
on the right side of the highway facing approaching traffic;
at a point not more than 4 metres from the edge of the roadway and 30 metres before the place where, from the perspective of approaching vehicular traffic, the pedestrian crossover illustrated in section 8 meets the edge of the roadway; and
such that the sign illustrated in paragraph 3 of subsection 6 (2) is below or beside the sign illustrated in paragraph 3 of subsection 6 (1).
Where the roadway has been divided into two clearly marked lanes for traffic, the sign illustrated as Figure 1 in paragraph 1 of subsection 6 (1) may also be erected above the pedestrian crossover facing vehicular traffic as nearly as practicable over the centre of each lane.
Where the roadway has been divided into more than two clearly marked lanes for traffic,
the sign illustrated as Figure 1 in paragraph 1 of subsection 6 (1) may also be erected above the pedestrian crossover on the right side facing vehicular traffic as nearly as practicable over each half of the roadway for each direction of travel; and
the sign illustrated as Figure 2 in paragraph 1 of subsection 6 (1) may also be erected above the pedestrian crossover on the left side facing vehicular traffic approaching on the right side of the roadway as nearly as practicable over each half of the roadway for each direction of travel.
A rapid rectangular pedestrian-activated flashing amber beacon may be erected directly above the signs illustrated in paragraph 1 of subsection 6 (1) as illustrated in section 8.
For each direction of travel where a rectangular beacon described in subsection (7) is erected, each indication shall be illuminated and flash alternately when activated by a push button or other device, and shall not otherwise be illuminated or flash.
