It depends on what time of day it is.
Traffic lights change color using a timed sequence set by programmers. Typically, they cycle through green, yellow, and red to control the flow of traffic at intersections. Sensors or timers can also adjust the timing based on traffic conditions.
The lights are still in this order: RED YELLOW GREEN
Yellow, then red is the patterns of the traffic lights.
It is not really a circuit, traffic lights in todays world are controlled by programable logic controllers or a plc. There are rungs of logic to control the changing of the lights which are known as the inputs and outputs where the voltage is controlled to change the lights from red to yellow and green.
The output device of a traffic light consists of the colored lights (red, yellow, and green) that signal drivers and pedestrians. These lights use LEDs or incandescent bulbs to display the appropriate signal for traffic control. When activated by a controller, the lights change to manage the flow of traffic safely at intersections.
The three lights of a traffic signal are red, yellow, and green. The red light indicates that vehicles must stop, the green light signals that it is safe to go, and the yellow light warns that the signal is about to change to red, advising drivers to slow down and prepare to stop. These lights help regulate traffic flow and enhance road safety.
Inside a traffic light are control circuits, LED or incandescent lights, and a timer mechanism. The control circuits manage the sequencing of the lights, while the lights themselves are responsible for displaying red, yellow, and green signals. The timer mechanism ensures that the lights change at appropriate intervals.
red yellow green
On traffic lights it means slow down.
The different colors of lights commonly used in traffic signals are red, yellow, and green.

Flashing traffic lights are used when the control system is not functioning properly, or when there is very low level traffic (to the point that lights become unnecessary).
