Traffic Lights

[Alexandro]

Hi everyone,

Is it correct to say: 'The traffic lights turned green, orange, red?

Thanks
Alexandro

It depends on what you mean by 'correct.
That's not a grammatically correct sentence, though may be colloguially acceptable.
In the UK traffic lights are considered to be 'amber' not 'orange'.

Thanks Beeesneees, what would you say then if the traffic lights change? Thanks. Oh and would you please have a look at my other threads. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks Alexandro.

'Turned is okay. The grammar is incorrect because you would need to say 'from green to amber to red'.

1. The traffic lights turned from green to amber to red.
2. The traffic lights turned from green to amber and then to red.
3. The traffic lights turned on from green to amber.
Are all these OK?
