Traffic signals

We now turn to intersections, where links, with car following and lane changing dynamics, are connected. The easiest case are fully signalized intersections since the signal (assuming it is working correctly) is taking care of avoiding crashes. The dynamics resulting from a red light can be generated by placing a virtual car with speed zero into the last spot on the link, and removing this car once lights turn green.
