Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies
During changeover periods, a steady yellow x may follow the termination of the steady downward green arrow. The steady red x shall follow the steady yellow x, when used, or at the termination of the steady downward green arrow. A clearance period of appropriate length shall be provided, during which the steady red x shall be shown in both directions over the lane, before the steady downward green arrow indication is shown for traffic in the opposite direction. When used, lane-use signals shall be operated continuously, except that lane-use control signals that are used only for special events or other infrequent occurrences and lane-use control signals on nonreversible freeway lanes may be darkened when not in operation. The change from normal operation to nonoperation shall occur only when the lane-use control signals display signal indications that are appropriate for the lane use that applies when the signals are not operated. The lane-use control signals shall display indications that are appropriate for the existing lane use when changed from nonoperation to normal operation. Also, traffic control devices shall clearly indicate the proper lane use when the lane control signals are not in operation.
