Hello! How can I help you today?<|im_end|>

I'm having trouble with traffic signals in my area. Can you tell me why some traffic lights have three colors and others have four?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Three-color traffic lights typically have red for stop, yellow for caution, and green for go. Four-color traffic lights often include a red arrow for turning or a flashing yellow arrow for yielding.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
That makes sense. What about the timing of the traffic lights? Is there a standard duration for each color?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
There isn't a universal standard, but most traffic lights follow a general pattern. The green light usually lasts around 30-90 seconds, while the yellow light typically lasts 3-5 seconds, and the red light can vary depending on the intersection.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
I see. So, the timing of traffic lights can vary depending on the location?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Exactly. The timing of traffic lights is often adjusted based on factors like traffic volume, pedestrian traffic, and road conditions to ensure safe and efficient traffic flow.<|im_end|>
