A traffic light is placed at an intersection of two or more roadways. Each approach of the intersection has at least one signal head with three bulbs (red, yellow, and green) facing it. Cars approaching the intersection can go through it if the light facing them is green and cannot go through it when the light is red. Signals go from green to yellow (to slow down for the red) to red and then back to green. Only one of the two roads at a signalized intersection can have a green light at one time and the traffic on the other road must wait for the light facing them to turn green.

It is doubtful that the hall light is the starting point of the power. You could add a closet light that would work when the hall light was on, but probably not to work independently.
