Opening: Why 403?
When 300mm isn't enough, 400mm steps in.
The 403 designation follows the same logic as 303:
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 4 | 400mm lens diameter |
| 0 | Single unit (in some naming conventions) or part of three-unit group |
| 3 | Three-unit configuration (red + yellow + green) |
403 = 400mm lens diameter, three-unit signal
While 303 signals are standard for most urban intersections, 403 signals are specified when greater visibility is required:
Wider roads – 6+ lanes or intersection spans over 25 meters
Higher mounting – Signal height above 8 meters
Longer viewing distances – High-speed approaches, visibility requirements >450m
Glare reduction – Larger lens area improves visibility in direct sunlight -3
Think of 403 as the heavy-duty version of the 303-same functionality, larger presence.

Pole Specifications for 403 Signals
When installing 403 signals, pole requirements differ from 303 due to larger signal weight and wind load:
| Parameter | 303 Signal | 403 Signal |
|---|---|---|
| Signal weight | 8-12 kg | 12-20 kg -3 |
| Wind load area | 0.12 m² | 0.20 m² |
| Recommended pole | 6m-8m | 8m-10m |
| Arm diameter | Φ76-89mm | Φ89-114mm |
Recommended Configurations
| Intersection Width | Recommended Arm Length | Signal Configuration |
|---|---|---|
| 3-4 lanes (12-16m) | 6m-8m arm | 403 signals × 2 per direction |
| 5-6 lanes (16-22m) | 8m-10m arm | 403 signals × 3 per direction |
| 7+ lanes (22-30m) | 10m-14m arm or gantry | 403 signals × 4-5 per direction |
