Traffic Light and Road Signals
Traffic lights and road signals are important tools that help us stay safe on the roads. They tell us when to stop, when to go, and when to be careful.
What is a Traffic Light?
A traffic light is a device that uses colored lights to control the movement of vehicles and pedestrians. The main colors of a traffic light are red, yellow, and green.
Traffic Light Colors
There are three main colors on a traffic light, and each color has a specific meaning:
- Red: Red means stop. When the light is red, you must stop your vehicle or wait on the sidewalk if you are a pedestrian.
- Yellow: Yellow means wait or prepare to stop. When the light is yellow, you should slow down and be ready to stop. If you are already in the intersection, you can continue through, but be careful.
- Green: Green means go. When the light is green, you can proceed safely through the intersection.
Road Signals
Besides traffic lights, there are other road signals that help us stay safe. Some of these signals include:
- Stop signs: Stop signs are red octagonal signs that tell you to come to a complete stop before proceeding.
- Yield signs: Yield signs are red triangular signs that tell you to slow down and yield to traffic already in the intersection.
- Crosswalk signs: Crosswalk signs are white signs with a black pedestrian figure that tell you where it is safe to cross the street.
Importance of Traffic Lights and Road Signals
Obeying traffic lights and road signals is crucial for our safety. They help prevent accidents and keep everyone safe on the roads.
