Meaning

A horizontal traffic signal with three stacked lights, typically red, yellow, and green, mounted sideways rather than vertically. It represents traffic control at intersections and is commonly used to mean stop, caution, or go, or to reference driving, roads, and commuting. In conversation it can signal waiting, a green light for approval, or a red light for refusal. It also appears in contexts about progress or timing. Usage varies, so the intended color or meaning often depends on surrounding text or context.
