they may travel through without stop on flashing amber? Are varying colors used in each direction instead of signs, as in N.America where flashing amber indicates a vehicles may proceed with caution and flashing red indicates a vehicle must stop? And what happens if the signal is dark: do the duties of motorists change as compared with a flashing signal? If you can provide references, that may help in clearing up my confusion. Lastly: it is not advisable to mark information additions as minor edits. Cheers! --

the number of hits for varieties of Traffic Lights vs. Traffic Signals are not too dissimilar. At the end of the day, it probably doesn't make too much difference - presently Traffic Signal redirects to Traffic Light, if you change the name the reverse will happen. Therefore people will always find the page - which is really what we want them to be able to do.

traffic, the placement of stop signs (and also direction sigsn for Interstates etc) I missed quite a lot; if I missed a STOP sign my boss would just tell me to stop twice at the next one to make up for it. This is dealt with under the STOP sign and YIELD sign articles so it doesn't need to be blah'd about here, but a small sentence or para may be worthwhile.

baffle to limit the direction in which lights can be see, but it was something my driving instructor taught me to do. People forget that "defensive driving" does not mean "going at 10mph everywhere" but "attempting to keep the car safely in motion at all times" and we really don't like stopping when there's no need to. :)

be between the SIGNAL i.e. what you are SAYING and the LIGHT which is the physical way you are saying it (by means of a lamp); hence it lists "hand signals" and "traffic light signals"-- though nowhere that I could find is "traffic light" used exclusively (but maybe I missed it), and it's oddly silent on the use of s.

Despite the frequent use of "Traffic Light" by many of us in the US, many traffic engineers should acknowledge that "Traffic Signal" is the correct term to use for the devices presented under this topic. Shouldn't the word "light" refer to illuminating devices? I am not very familiar with the rules

In France, traffic lights can show flashing amber to all directions. This means "give way to traffic entering from the right" - in other words, what you would do if the lights were not there. This may be activated in some failure conditions, or, at least until the late 1980s, at night. Of course, the

Traffic signals are never repeated at the other side of the intersection in France. Drivers in most parts of the world (Ireland, UK, USA, Australia - my experience only) who are first in the queue at a red light are used to being able to look across the intersection and seeing the light that applies

A lot of new over-roadway technologies are being introduced and implemented. Should there perhaps be a sub-section within Technology called 'Sensors' to expound upon these technologies? Or is it perhaps as yet irrelevant since an overwhelming number of sensors at intersections as yet are in-roadway,

I don't think there is a nefarious ulterior motive here-- personally I think once it's settled we just make sure consistently we say signal or light throughout the article. UK Highway Code (about as reputable a source as you can get) calls "flashers" on cars "turn signals", the distinction seems to

I came to this article hoping to see some explanation for the lights I'm seeing on top of traffic lights more and more often. Neither my family nor I understand their purpose. They were white when they first started appearing but are now more frequently blue. Does anyone know what their function

If the first traffic lights were in the U.K. how are 'modern' traffic lights a U.S. invention? Firstly the design of traffic lights has been in a constant state of flux since their invention in the England. By adding the weasel word 'modern' the author is trying to assert that anything prior to the

This article was apparently tagged for not having a worldwide view and focusing too much on the US. However, in the opening paragraph, there is clearly a leaning towards the Commonwealth view (amber vs. yellow) , and throughout the article there are many explanations and examples of traffic lights

I think that's beacuse the Highway Code bunches it up in a large section of "signals" or various flavours covering three pages in the book - doesn't really help. From experience, when I learned to drive, it was always called Traffic Lights, but that was in 1967... If you look at Google searches,

Also, accessible pedestrian signal systems use such things as locator tones so blind and low-vision pedestrians can find the push buttons, vibrating and light-up buttons so the pedestrian gets feedback when pushing the button, voice messages to supplement pedestrain head indications, and so forth.

Okay, so in Lloydminster I can be waiting at a red signal according to Alberta's traffic laws going one way and Saskatchewan's going the other way. Why is this relevant? If Alberta permitted right-on-red and Saskatchewan didn't, for example, I can see why it might make a difference. Merely talking

The correct term is a Traffic Signal, not Traffic Light. This is because they provide a signal for drivers to obey rather than providing light for illumination (being able to see). The term written in UK law is Traffic Light Signal and they are also known as Automated Traffic Signals, the use of

Also, in the UK, traffic lights are often situated so that you can see the lights for traffic to your left and right kinda "out of the corner of your eye", and so you know you are gonna get a green very soon (if you know the intersection well). Sometimes, these days, it seems more common to use a

I read it as basically saying that the first traffic lights looking something like the current ones tend to were installed in the U.S. They were predated by British lights, but the British ones were more like semaphores, and less like the current 3-lights-in-a-row design. The referencing in this

When traffic lights are put to "fail" (all flashing ambers), they usually have a small warning sign on the same pole indicating priority at the junction when the lights are not operational. One approach will have yield, the other will have the sign indicating minor road ahead. Sometimes, the

I don't think the article is too long (or mature enough in terms of references and copyediting) to really necessitate splitting off other articles. The technology section looks like it only has one in-line reference, so splitting off that section would create a weaker article and decrease the

The opposite problem arises here, where accustomed drivers are looking say right approaching a roundabout (we are left hand traffic of course) and if the guy in front doesn't go when the way is clear you get a rear-ender. It doesn't belong in great detail in this article but I thik maybe that

I don't think I've ever run a red light in the US (ours are usually side of road, in Texas they were usually overhead) but certainly gone through a lot of stop signs just cos they are comparatively rare here. That is covered in the Stop Sign and Yield articles-- Before I got accustommed to US

The placement thing might be challenged for OR or something. I wouldn't, because I agree. In the US, that isn't typically a problem; the signs warning of stop signs and lights are huge and plentiful, and most light overhang the road, so it's hard to miss them. In an unfamiliar area, like a

A Light is something that illuminates and allows one to see. A signal is something that tells you what to do. Surely it is commonsense that the important 'aspect' of the device is that it is giving a direction to motorists, not the fact that it is luminous. Hence the logical adoption of the

Nice work. One thing I might suggest is a bit more explanation in the main lighting section about Fresnel lenses. Obviously it is covered in its main topic but its particular application to traffic lights might be useful there rather than specifically in the programmability section etc?

It also removes the following problem: at some T-junctions in UK, I have seen drivers coming from the minor road onto the through-road and stopping because they see the red-light meant for drivers on the through-road. They are incorrect in doing this but would be correct if in France.

If not, sometimes lights are used so a police officer can tell which approach has a red light. Without these, the officer has to be able to see the red light to write a ticket. This means the officer also has to run the red light to catch the offender, at some risk to the

In the History section of Traffic Lights, there is the following statement: Ashville, Ohio claims to be the location of the oldest working traffic light in the United States, used at an intersection of public roads until 1982 when it was moved to a local museum.
1355:
I trust that these are three major governments' publications. I want to emphasize, no doubt, many people do refer to "traffic signals" as "traffic lights". However, the accepted proper use among the scientific and engineering community is "traffic signal".

Is it still common practice to effectively put the lights into "fail" at night in France? I haven't seen it for a few years but then have not spent much time on the road in France at night recently - many such instances have been in fairly large towns.

There's a minor advantage to "traffic signal", I think, in that the actual physical descriptions, LEDs incandescent bulbs and all that hardware stuff, can go off to another article called perhaps "traffic light" (or something). So a modest first

This is in the middle of a long paragraph about ÂĽ of the way down the page (in "Turning signals and rules"), but doesn't seem very encyclopedic. I will add a "citation needed" tag to it, but it probably should be deleted.

A section should be added on how traffic engineers decide whether a given intersection needs to be signalized. I'm familar with US warrants, but it would be interesting to compare criteria from different countries.

Why do they do this? It does make absolutely clear the point at which a driver must stop. It also removes any confusion that can occur at oddly shaped junctions where some drivers look at the wrong light.

It has disadvantages though: if turning left in France and you move into the junction waiting for a gap in the traffic to turn, you have no way of knowing when the green changes to amber and red.
