Question

Consider an agent that controls the traffic lights at a 4-way intersection (where 2 roads cross, with traffic flowing in all directions). The lights have green/yellow/red main lights plus a left-turn arrow and a pedestrian indicator. The agent controls which lights go on and how long they stay on. Assume the intersection has signals for pedestrians and in-pavement detectors right before the crosswalk for cars and bikes.
