About This Answer
Traffic lights use three colors - red, yellow, and green - to control vehicle and pedestrian traffic at intersections. According to the Federal Highway Administration, this color system was standardized in 1935 to create universal traffic control signals. The Smithsonian Institution documents how early traffic signals evolved from railroad signaling systems in the early 20th century. Traffic engineers designed the three-color system for maximum safety and efficiency in directing traffic flow. The red-yellow-green sequence has become an international standard, preventing countless accidents and organizing traffic in cities worldwide.
