Part B
Reading, listening and pronunciation

H Reading

Read the text about traffic lights. Are the sentences True (T) or False (F)?

Stop and go
There are traffic lights at road junctions around the world to control traffic. They use a
universal colour system: red means stop and green means go. The yellow light in the
middle means slightly different things in different countries, but usually it tells drivers to be
careful.

Perhaps the first traffic lights were outside the Houses of Parliament in London. In 1868,
an engineer built red and green signals using coloured gas lamps. An American
policeman, Lester Wire, invented the first modern electric traffic lights in around 1912, in
Salt Lake City, Utah.

Some people now believe though that roads are safer without traffic lights and other road
signs. When drivers just follow the traffic signals, they don’t really think and they don’t look
around them. If you remove the traffic lights, drivers are more careful. They drive more
slowly and they look around them more, so there are fewer accidents. Some cities have
already taken down their traffic lights. The small town of Makkinga in Holland, for example,
completely changed its road system in 1991. There are now no traffic lights, no road signs
and no lines painted on the roads. This encourages drivers to pay more attention to other
cars, cyclists and people on foot.

41 Red and green traffic lights mean the same thing in all countries.

42 A British engineer invented the first electric traffic lights in 1868.

43 Some people think that traffic lights are not safe because drivers don’t stop at red
lights.

44 When there are no traffic lights, drivers pay more attention to the things around them.

45 Some places have removed traffic lights to improve road safety.

46 There is now no traffic in Makkinga, Holland.
