Usage examples of "traffic lights".

All along the street, every set of traffic lights hit red as he approached.

That was where they'd been going yesterday morning: from the distance I'd seen the security van keep up speed towards the next traffic lights but the big black Moskwicz had pulled in again soon after dropping me off.

It was now four vehicles ahead and I'd have to do something because he could go through the next traffic lights just before they changed and leave me stuck: I couldn't afford to crash a red because I could hit something and in any case there could be a patrol car in the area and that wouldn't do any good, show me your licence please while the Volvo pulled away into the distance, and is this man sick and why are his wrists tied to his legs, so forth.

Even though the streets had been empty, uncooperative traffic lights had turned the ten mile drive into a half-hour trip.
