Red lights in traffic signals and road signs are primarily used to indicate the need to stop or come to a complete halt.
Traffic signs and signals are the same in every state, so that the people wont get confused
Flashing red lights on emergency vehicles always take precedence over signs and traffic signals. In construction zones, signs related to the construction take precedence over other signs. If a policeman is present, either stopping vehicles or directing traffic, his or her directions take precedence over signs and traffic signals.
Traffic signs can only display one piece of information and they are normally not illuminated. Traffic signs are usually put on posts on the side of the road and tell you to stop, yield, or what the speed limit is. Traffic signals have a series of lights (usually Red, Yellow, and Green), which change to give motorists multiple directions. Traffic signals are usually placed in intersections, and aside from telling drivers to go and stop, can also flash arrow signals to tell drivers in a turning lane when to make a turn.
Control the flow of traffic.
Perry County, Indiana, has limited traffic lights, primarily concentrated in its larger towns such as Tell City and surrounding areas. The rural nature of much of the county means that many intersections are controlled by stop signs rather than traffic signals. For specific locations or updates, checking with local government resources or traffic management departments would provide the most accurate information.
Uncontrolled
Traffic lights are used at intersections or other locations where Stop signs and Yield signs are no longer able to manage traffic flow. Traffic signals tell drivers when it is safe to proceed upon a roadway and when they need to stop. They also tell drivers to go in different directions, such as left or right.

Tunnel traffic signs show ?
At controlled intersections, you must obey traffic signals (such as stop lights and signs) and yield the right of way to pedestrians and other vehicles as required by the signals. It is also important to be alert and check for oncoming traffic before proceeding through the intersection.
Yes, they act like traffic signs and signals.
An uncontrolled intersection is an intersection that has no traffic controls -- no traffic signals, stop sighs, yield signs, etc.
