Traffic Light Control
 A simple USA-style traffic light consists of a
red, amber, and green light. The typical
sequence is as follows:
 Green (safe to proceed)
 Amber (slow down, red light soon)
 Red (stop)
Traffic Light Control

Let’s assume that Busy Lane has to have its green traffic light
on for 10 seconds from west to east and west to south. While
another not busy lane has to have its green traffic light on for 5
seconds from South to East and South to West.

For both streets, it is permissible to have the amber traffic light

on for 3 seconds before turn into Red color. For the red traffic
lights, the green and amber cycle times will directly influence
this.
