Barnes dance

signal phase that stops vehicular manoeuvres and allows pedestrian manoeuvres to exclusively occur across the intersection including diagonally moving between corners
NOTE 1 to entry: Also referred to as a scramble, or “X” crossing. The term refers to Henry Barnes, a deceased traffic engineer.

lane-use control signal

signal face displaying signal indications to permit or prohibit the use of specific lanes of a roadway or to indicate the impending prohibition of such use
NOTE 1 to entry: Typically, these are arrow displays of varying colours.
NOTE 2 to entry: This document does not attempt to use signal colours/indications to reflect the allowed vehicle operation, rather, the permitted movements are…

signal face displaying signal indications to permit or prohibit the use of specific lanes of a roadway or to indicate the impending prohibition of such use
NOTE 1 to entry: Typically, these are arrow displays of varying colours.
NOTE 2 to entry: This document does not attempt to use signal colours/indications to reflect the allowed vehicle operation, rather, the permitted movements are indicated and the state of the movement as explained later herein. Each region has unique mechanisms for using the display signals to indicate the movement(s) allowed.

MAE

management adaptation entity

phase; interval; traffic signal phase

part of a traffic signal cycle during which, signal indications are stable and do not change
NOTE 1 to entry: In the SPaT message, the current timing value for the remaining interval time estimate, as well as the anticipated interval for yellow change (clearance) interval, is provided for each lane.
NOTE 2 to entry: Because signal interval times commonly change based on triggering events…

NOTE 1 to entry: In the SPaT message, the current timing value for the remaining interval time estimate, as well as the anticipated interval for yellow change (clearance) interval, is provided for each lane.
NOTE 2 to entry: Because signal interval times commonly change based on triggering events in many types of signalling systems, the value provided in the SPaT message may represent a minimal value that is extended and updated as the message is re-transmitted in real time.

proceed manoeuvre that has been terminated while demand for the manoeuvre continues
NOTE 1 to entry: Repeated phase overloads indicate that the signal phase timing is not adequate to satisfy the demand.
