Yes, it is legal for a traffic light and stop sign to be at the same intersection. The stop sign serves as a backup in case the traffic light is not functioning properly. Drivers are required to obey both signals in such a scenario.

How can tell what traffic lights other people have?

You can infer what traffic lights other people have based on the behavior of their vehicles. For example, if you see a line of cars slowing down and coming to a stop while approaching an intersection, it is likely that the traffic light for that direction is red. Conversely, if you see cars accelerating as they approach an intersection, it is likely that the traffic light for that direction is green.

Can a traffic light turn green on both sides?

Typically, traffic lights are designed to prevent conflicting signals; therefore, a traffic light should not turn green for both sides of an intersection simultaneously. In some specific cases, such as at a T-intersection or with dedicated turn signals, lights may be coordinated to allow different movements, but standard traffic lights maintain safety by ensuring that opposing directions do not receive a green light at the same time. However, malfunctions can occasionally cause both sides to show green, leading to dangerous situations.
