About Traffic Lights

Traffic lights are a key part of keeping people safe on the road. They are used to keep traffic moving and avoid crashes. Most traffic lights have three lights: red, yellow, and green. Each colour means something different and tells cars what to do.

The sensors and timers in traffic lights make them work. When a car gets close to a traffic light, sensors pick up on it and warn the person in charge of the light. The processor then uses a timer to decide how long each light should stay on.

• Red Light: When the red light is on, drivers must stop their cars. Drivers should wait until the light goes green before moving.
• Yellow Light: When the yellow light is on, the light is about to turn red. Slow down and get ready to stop, says the sign.
• Green Light: Cars can go through the intersection when the green light is on. But drivers should still be careful and watch for people on foot and other cars. 

There are a lot of different kinds of traffic lights on the market. Here are some of them:

Traffic lights are an important part of making sure that roads are safe. They help keep traffic moving in the right direction and stop accidents. Drivers need to understand what each colour means and follow the road rules.
