Question 1

Can signals or stop signs be installed to control traffic speed?

Accepted Answer

No, since it doesn't work. Unaffected are speeds away from the sign or signal. Frequently, the perceptions of the general public on traffic control are inaccurate. This is why political novices should not be in charge of traffic management.
If left to his own devices, a driver will drive at the highest perceived safe speed on the road, regardless of the speed limits posted by politicians. Politicians often believe that building a road for 10 mph beyond the posted speed limit would make it "safer." However, drivers desire to exceed the speed limit by 10 mph.
Except for adjusting the perceived safe speed of the road, nothing will ever restrict driving speed. Because laws mandate that every fire apparatus must be able to utilize the road, cars often speed on overly-wide residential streets.

Question 2

Why are the colors of traffic lights red, yellow, and green?

Accepted Answer

The colors derive from maritime and railroad customs.
For generations, ships have used red, green, and white lanterns to designate privileged and burdened transit privileges. A green light indicates that the ship is privileged, whereas a red light indicates that the ship is burdened and must turn right or slow down. If both red and green lights are visible, ships are approaching each other head-on and must turn right. The white light shows that the vessel is passing another vessel traveling in the same direction. Multiple white lights signify that the ship is powered by the wind, which is always favored by overpowered vessels. Multiple red lights signal that the ship is too large to rapidly alter its direction or speed.
When railways first began utilizing colored signals, red meant stop, green meant caution, and white meant to go. These hues were acceptable for signal flags. However, white was problematic at night, when engine drivers confused other lights for the signal lights. Thus, the colors indicating stop, caution, and go were altered to red, yellow, and green respectively. However, railroad warning signs indicate that the next light will be red since the stopping distance of a train is greater than the visibility distance. The car warning signal gives drivers sufficient time to halt for a subsequent signal.
Ships and aircraft utilize the same color designations.

Question 3

Why so many indications?

Accepted Answer

There are three indications for general use, two indications for night flashing, and five indications intended for traffic turning in a specific direction. There are also three pedestrian indications. This is the minimum number needed to give all of the meanings needed to safely control traffic.
