403 Traffic Signal Light

403 Traffic Signal Light

The 403 signal light is a 400mm large-format LED traffic signal, featuring the same red-yellow-green three-unit configuration as the 303 but with significantly larger luminous area. When intersections exceed 6 lanes, mounting heights exceed 8 meters, or approach speeds exceed 70 km/h, the 403 signal delivers superior visibility (≥450m) and better sunlight resistance—making it the ideal choice for wide roads and high-speed intersections.

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:

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
