Many are not, and the result is no chaos on the boulevards. they are controlled by relays and intervalometers. Push-button crossings are a good example One pushes a button at a normally clear ( for highway traffic) pedestrian crossing, this starts a timer using ( in the earlier types) a synchonous motor- let us say it is timed for 2 l/2 minutes. at the end of the cycle- the traffic signals change- green for pedestrians, red for traffic so to speak, there is a comparatively brief crossing window- then they go back to traffic priority until somebody else presses the button. the buttons start a timer. for this reason it is useless to repeatedly hit the button like a telegraph key , once started it has to go through a full cycle. hitting the button will only wear the contacts ( electrical not optical) and so it goes this type of traffic signal has been around for , well in the case of route 440 at least 40 years, as Two Guys was opened in l964, and there was a need for a Pedestrian Crossing.

What is the circuit diagram 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.
What impact did traffic lights?
The traffic lights impacted the world because it gave some rules in driving and so there were not that much accidents to happen.
Why do you study microprocessors in ece?
To use them in Embedded controllers, in traffic lights control and mainly as heart of computers.
What will happen if there were no traffic lights?
If traffic lights are present but are not working (power failure) drivers are SUPPOSED to treat each intersection as if there is an all-directions stop sign. They rarely do that.
How do traffic lights know the set of instruction?
it is all controlled by a computer sytem with all of the information on the settings and delays
Are all redlights controlled by a traffic control signal vehicle detection device?
No. Some traffic signals (red lights) are on timers however this method is becoming rare
What are the disadvantages of the traffic lights?
* The disadvantages of traffic lights r * Traffic lights can cause a chaos on the roads.* Also cause a huge traffic
What is the difference between a lollipop lady and a pelican crossing?
A lollipop lady is a crossing guard who helps children safely cross the road at designated points, whereas a pelican crossing is a type of pedestrian crossing controlled by traffic lights. Lollipop ladies use a stop sign on a stick to halt traffic, while pelican crossings have signal-controlled lights for pedestrian and vehicle traffic.
What would happen if Garrett Morgan did not make traffic lights?
The whole world would have a lot of car attedints and would prolly have a lot of traffic
Is't a computer that controls the spotlight so we can drive to work?
No, a computer does not directly control the spotlight for driving to work. Instead, traffic lights, signals, and streetlights are typically controlled by a combination of timers, sensors, and sometimes centralized traffic management systems. These systems may use computers to optimize traffic flow, but they are not the same as a spotlight. The term "spotlight" might refer to headlights or visual aids, which are operated by the vehicle's driver.
