It is a clear distinction between traffic enforcement on state highways and other state-level law enforcement functions.
yes the law does say you have stay stopped just stop and the go if no other traffic is comingANS2:In the U.S., a flashing red light at an intersection is treated as a stop sign. Some states permit motorcyclists to treat a non-changing signal as a stop sign if the pavement sensor does not detect them. At an intersection with a malfunctioning signal, the intersection is treated as a 4-way stop. For other situations, if you are certain that you can convince the police officer who stops you for running the red light that you waited a reasonable length of time and you didn't interfere with opposing traffic, the officer might not cite you. The law says that you don't enter the intersection on red unless directed by police.
As it is the law.
A green traffic light means you may go, but only if safe to do so. If there is other traffic or pedestrians in the way, you may NOT go until safe, even if you "have the green light." Even if the other traffic or pedestrians are violating the law, you cannot go until it is safe.
If you are asking what the height of a traffic light above the street is, that is usually set by the specifications of the individual states or municipalities, and usually designed to be high enough to clear the tallest oad that can be lawfully transported on the highways without special permit.
The opposite would be "light traffic".
If a traffic light breaks most cities will assign a traffic cop to regulate traffic until the light can be fixed.
Traffic signals at intersections are installed to provide for the smooth flow of traffic and avoid accidents. The motorists with the green light have the right to expect that they can proceed through the intersection safely although defensive driving tells us we should always look both ways in case any other motorist is driving through the red light.
The traffic light was made in 1823.
