horizontal traffic light, 가로 신호등
Traffic lights are essential devices that help ensure the safe movement of vehicles and pedestrians on roads. They use red, yellow, and green lights to signal stop, caution, and go.
Horizontal traffic lights are a common sight in Western countries, such as the United States and Europe. They are arranged horizontally so that drivers can easily see them from a distance.
신호등은 도로에서 차와 사람의 안전한 이동을 돕는 중요한 장치입니다. 빨간색, 노란색, 초록색으로 멈춤과 주의, 이동을 알려줍니다.
가로형 신호등은 주로 미국이나 유럽 등 서양에서 많이 볼 수 있는 형태입니다. 운전자들이 멀리서도 잘 볼 수 있도록 가로로 배치되어 있습니다.
The first traffic signal was installed in London, England, in 1868. It was a manually operated gaslight. Modern electric traffic lights were first introduced in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1914, and subsequently spread worldwide.
Horizontal traffic lights are particularly favored in areas with strong winds, as they offer less wind resistance than vertical ones. They also occupy a wider visual area, making them more noticeable to drivers.
