What is a "stoplight"?

A stoplight is another term for a traffic light, used to control the movement of vehicles and pedestrians at intersections. It has three main colors: red, yellow, and green. Red means stop, yellow warns to slow down or prepare to stop, and green means it is safe to go. Stoplights are installed to help maintain order on the road, prevent accidents, and ensure smooth traffic flow. They are commonly found in busy areas where there is a lot of vehicle and pedestrian movement.
