Belisha beacon - Definition |
|
 Top of a Belisha Beacon A Belisha Beacon is a tall black and white pole topped by flashing orange globe. They appear on either side of the road at zebra crossings in the United Kingdom. A few Belisha beacons are also to be seen in the former British colony of Hong Kong. They are named after Leslie Hore-Belisha (1895-1957), the Minister of Transport who introduced them in 1934.
In New Zealand, the standard for pedestrian crossings (in the Traffic Regulations) now requires such a device (or an orange non-illuminated equivalent) atop the black and white pole at each side of the crossing.
