Traffic lights work on a timer, but if you look closely on the road when your stopped at the traffic lights, you should see a rectangle like shape under the car it is called a sensor
And when you drive on it, a signal is sent, so the timer knows a car is waiting, if no other cars are going the other way, the timer will change and the light will go green so you can go.
I hope this answer helps.
(in the US) The STOP signal is always located in the TOP position on a vertical signal display.
On a horizontal signal display, it is always displayed to the LEFT-HAND side.

No one really controlls the traffic lights. A computer system controls the traffic lights, and no humans are involved with controlling the traffic lights day in and day out. It is all automated these days.
The new traffic lights are now LED lights and do not ever burn out.
No, because traffic lights are charged, not naturally bright.
Traffic lights are made of part metal and part glass.
people can be colorblind. When the power goes out so do the traffic lights.

Logically, unless there were reasons to control traffic, there would have been no reason to create or install traffic lights. Because "traffic" generally comprises vehicles (motorized or otherwise), the traffic was probably there prior to the lights. Certainly, there were mechanical traffic signals that preceded traffic lights, not to mention traffic officers who once stood at busy intersections to direct traffic on a regular basis.
