A LARGE CITY CAN HAVE AS MANY AS 10,000 INTERSECTIONS. MULTIPLY THIS TIMES ROUGHLY EIGHT AND IT IS CONCIEVABLE THAT A CITY SUCH AS LOS ANGELES OR HOUSTON COULD HAVE 80 THOUSAND TRAFFIC SIGNALS HANGING IN THEIR INTERSECTIONS. MULTIPLY THAT TIMES THREE AND THATS 240 THOUSAND LIGHT BULBS. ADD IN THE OVERHEAD LIGHTS AND PEDESTRIAN LIGHTS AND YOU APPROACH A MILLION LIGHTS OR MORE!
(AND YOU THOUGHT YOUR ELECTRIC BILL WAS HIGH). LOL

How many traffic lights are there in the United States?
Most likely, over a million and I'm just guessing ... There are over a fifty million. In cities, most intersections have eight or more traffic signals per major intersection. A city as big as L. A. can have 10,000 intersections. Multiply that times eight. Each intersection can have eight or more signal heads. Each head can have 3 to 7 light bulbs. We are talking some serious numbers. That's not counting pedestrian lights, overhead luminaires, and sign lights. (not to mention highway overhead lights). 50 million is just a guess but its and educated conservative guess. Pressed for accuracy I would guess higher rather than lower.
