Which term do you use when describing them? Example: "Go to the stop light and turn left." "Go to the traffic light and turn left."

Just curious! Maybe there is another term you use in your part of the world.

I use all three, "traffic light", "red light", "stop light" interchangably. "Red light" is the first phrase that pops in my head, but since it isn't always red, I try to channel my mouth to say "traffic light" or "traffic signal". I seldom, but sometimes, use "stop light".

Traffic light / traffic signal.

Traffic signal or traffic light. It's not a stop light or a red light since it's actually green and yellow some times too. I get directions from people with words like, "go to the red light and turn right." I asked them, "what if the light is green?"

Red light, even though I know better.

Traffic Light. Also, I define traffic as 2 or more cars. Therefore, if you're the only car on the road, no need to heed traffic lights because there IS NO traffic.

I like your way of thinking.

Definately a Stop Light.

this, unless it is an actual stop sign.

I probably use all of them without realizing it, but I think I use stop light more.

I call them "bloody nuisance" when I'm trying to get somewhere and manage to hit every one of them red.

I don't use stop, red, or traffic. "Go to the light and turn left".

traffic light

Ditto to rough rider: "the light"

Usually red light but if I am giving directions I just say light. Hang a left at the 3rd light.
