The invention is intended to replace three-colour traffic lights or STOP signs in order to enable motorists to benefit from an alternation of right of way at intersections, without any prolonged or superfluous waiting times in the cases where concurrent lanes are either congested or free of vehicles. The invention comprises an illuminated signal (3) controlled by a traffic light controller and representing a STOP or give-way sign post in force in the highway code. The illuminated signal remains lit for as long as the lights of concurrent lanes, where applicable, are green (1), yellow (2), or for as long as the STOP/give-way signals of concurrent lanes are off, where applicable. It is advantageous to combine three-colour traffic lights with the signal (3) on the same sign post so as to render the right of way explicit.
