Traffic light
Traffic lights, also known as traffic signals, traffic lamps, signal lights, robots in South Africa and, in the past, semaphores, are signalling devices positioned at road intersections, pedestrian crossings and other locations to control competing flows of traffic. Traffic lights were first installed in 1868 in London and are now used all over the world. Traffic lights alternate the right of way accorded to road users by displaying lights of a standard color following a universal color code. In the typical sequence of color phases: ⁕the green light allows traffic to proceed in the direction denoted, if it is safe to do so ⁕the yellow/amber light denoting prepare to stop short of the intersection, if it is safe to do so ⁕the red signal prohibits any traffic from proceeding
Traffic light
Traffic lights, traffic signals, or stoplights – known also as robots in South Africa – are signalling devices positioned at road intersections, pedestrian crossings, and other locations in order to control flows of traffic.Traffic lights consist normally of three signals, transmitting meaningful information to drivers and riders through colours and symbols including arrows and bicycles. The regular traffic light colours are red, amber (also known as yellow), and green arranged vertically or horizontally in that order. Although this is internationally standardised, variations exist on national and local scales as to traffic light sequences and laws.The method was first introduced in December 1868 on Parliament Square in London to reduce the need for police officers to control traffic. Since then, electricity and computerised control has advanced traffic light technology and increased intersection capacity. The system is also used for other purposes, for example, to control pedestrian movements, variable lane control (such as tidal flow systems or smart motorways), and railway level crossings.
