=== Public transport signals in Europe === In some European countries and [[Russia]], dedicated traffic signals for public transport (tram, as well any that is using a [[bus lane|dedicated lane]]) [[s:ru:Правила дорожного движения Российской Федерации#6. Сигналы светофора и регулировщика|have]] four white lights that form the letter T.{{Citation needed|date=December 2009}} If the three top lamps are lit, this means "stop". If the bottom lamp and some lamps on the top row are lit, this means permission to go in a direction shown. In the case of a tram signal, if there are no tram junctions or turns at an intersection, a simpler system of one amber signal in the form of the letter T is used instead; the tram must proceed only when the signal is lit. In North European countries, the tram signals feature white lights of different forms: "S" for "stop", "—" for "caution" and arrows to permit passage in a given direction.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.trafikverket.se/TrvSeFiler/Foretag/Bygga_och_underhalla/Vag/Vagutformning/Dokument_vag_och_gatuutformning/Vagar_och_gators_utformning/Trafiksignaler/04_utrustning_trafiksignaler.pdf|title=Publication on traffic lights the from the Swedish Transport Administration|access-date=25 August 2011|archive-date=23 September 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160923032057/http://www.trafikverket.se/TrvSeFiler/Foretag/Bygga_och_underhalla/Vag/Vagutformning/Dokument_vag_och_gatuutformning/Vagar_och_gators_utformning/Trafiksignaler/04_utrustning_trafiksignaler.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref> In Sweden, All signals use white lighting and special symbols ("S", "–" and an arrow) to distinguish them from regular signals.

The signals mean (from left to right): "go straight ahead", "go left", "go right", "go in any direction" (like the "green" of a normal traffic light), "stop, unless the emergency brake is needed" (equal to "amber"), and "stop" (equal to "red").
