Intersection Traffic Light

This simulation window shows an animated setting featuring a road crossing (or intersection) with a traffic light control. Even though traffic lights play an important role in our daily routine both as pedestrians and as drivers and it may sound senseless to explain their functions, we still want to make some general comments to better explain the problem of traffic light control.

A four-side traffic light. All sides can be individually seen in the top section of the window. They are numbered from S1 through S4.
