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.

Does flashing your headlights at a red traffic signal make it change to green?

No, Flashing your headlight's will have no effect on a traffic signal. The reason a traffic signal changes for emergency vehicles that have the lights flashing, is, they have a special transmitter that tells the light to change. This transmitter is connected to the emergency lights so it comes on when the lights are used.
