A "stoplicht" is a Dutch term for a traffic light, a signaling device used to control vehicle and pedestrian traffic at intersections. It typically consists of three colored lights: red, yellow, and green. The red light indicates that vehicles must stop, the yellow light warns that the signal is about to change, and the green light allows traffic to proceed. Traffic lights are essential for maintaining order on the roads and ensuring safety for both drivers and pedestrians. They are often found at busy intersections and are part of a broader traffic management system that includes road signs and traffic rules.
