Traffic lights have also been used in pieces of artwork, particularly the Traffic Light tree in London, UK.

Famous quotes containing the word contexts:
“The “text” is merely one of the contexts of a piece of literature, its lexical or verbal one, no more or less important than the sociological, psychological, historical, anthropological or generic.”
—Leslie Fiedler (b. 1917)
