Traffic lights are different in each country, and it’s really interesting.
In Japan, for example, the green light is often called “blue.” This surprised many foreigners at first, but it’s because of how colors are named in Japanese. Also, pedestrian lights in Japan make bird sounds to help blind people cross the street.
In China, traffic lights have countdown timers. These timers tell you how many seconds are left before the light changes. I think this makes it easier for people to know what to do.
In the United States, pedestrian lights say “WALK” or “DON’T WALK.” Sometimes, they use pictures instead. The yellow light means “slow down,” but some drivers try to hurry instead.
In England and Australia, some crossings have buttons you can press to stop cars. Drivers wait patiently until everyone crosses.
It’s amazing how traffic lights meet different needs!
