How does a trafffic light work?
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.

What must a driver do at a pelican crossing do when the amber light is flashing?
If there are pedestrians still crossing when the amber light is flashing, the motorist must remain stationary. If there are no pedestrians crossing, the motorist can proceed. (But, be careful of pedestrians taking a chance and attempting to cross when the amber light is flashing - it is best to use caution until the light turns green.)
