An auxiliary lamp control method of a traffic main and auxiliary lamp signal system includes the following steps of: (1) judging whether a pedestrian street crossing request signal Q exists, if exists, entering (2), and if not, entering (3); (2) executing a first mode: if a red light of a pedestrian street crossing auxiliary signal lamp is turned on, accepting the pedestrian street crossing request Q that is executed after delay time T, and then judging the pedestrian street crossing auxiliary signal lamp, if the green light is turned on, rejecting the pedestrian street crossing request Q, if the red light is truned on, then setting the yellow light of an auxiliary signal lamp of motor vehicles to be turned on, and setting the turn-on time of the yellow light as Tyel; after counting down the turn-on time Tyel of the yellow light, setting the red light of the auxiliary signal lamp of motor vehicles to be truned on, the green light of the pedestrian street crossing auxiliary signal lamp to be truned on and the turn-on time of the green light as Tpass; after counting down the turn-on time Tpass of the green light, entering step (1); and (3) executing a second mode: setting the green light of the auxiliary signal lamp of motor vehicles to be turned on always. The control method can keep a balance between the pedestrian street crossing request and vehicle passing efficiency.
