3. Sometimes one driver went first. Sometimes another did. The street needed a clear way to take turns.
4. Garrett began to think. What if a signal told drivers to go, stop, or wait?
5. He built a model with three choices. Red meant stop. Green meant go. Yellow gave everyone time to wait.
6. At the corner, the signal showed its colors one at a time. The street grew calmer because everyone knew when to move.
7. The signal did not make the city quiet. It made the busy street easier to understand.
