[edit] Purpose? Operation?

How do they work? What do they actually do? When do they flash? Lots of unanswered questions. There 'is a rest of the world, you know. - Keith D. Tyler ΒΆ 18:47, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

They don't do anything but flash constantly, unless/until the bulb fails. They're beacons, nothing else. The legallity of the crossing remains valid whether they are flashing or not.

On a side note, I'm sure Belisha Beacons can be found in other Commonwealth countries such as in the Carribean.
