What is a "red light"?

A red light in traffic is a signal that tells vehicles and pedestrians to stop. It is part of a traffic light system that controls movement to keep roads safe and organized. The red light appears after the yellow light and remains on for a set time before changing to green. Drivers must wait until the light turns green before moving forward or turning, unless a separate signal allows a turn. Traffic lights help prevent accidents and manage the flow of movement at intersections and crossings.

A helmet is a protective headgear designed to protect the wearer's head from injuries caused by impacts, collisions, or falling debris. It is typically made from hard, durable materials such as metal, plastic, or Kevlar, and features a cushioned lining that provides shock absorption and comfort. Helmets are widely used by military personnel, law enforcement officers, construction workers, athletes, and individuals engaging in extreme sports such as cycling, skiing, and rock climbing.

What is a "pedestrian crossing"?

A pedestrian crossing is a marked area on a road or street where people are allowed to cross safely. It is typically located at intersections or other high-traffic areas and is often indicated by signs, painted lines, or lights to make it clear to drivers where pedestrians may cross. Pedestrian crossings help ensure the safety of people walking across the street by giving them a designated place to cross, and in some cases, traffic signals may control when it is safe for pedestrians to move and when vehicles should stop.

What is a "flat tire"?

A flat tire refers to a tire that has lost air pressure, usually due to a puncture, leak, or damage. When a tire is flat, it becomes unable to properly support the weight of the vehicle, making it difficult or impossible to drive safely. This condition can cause the vehicle to handle poorly, and in some cases, it can lead to further damage if not addressed. A flat tire often requires repair or replacement to restore the vehicle's ability to drive properly.

What is an "engine"?

An engine is a machine that converts fuel into power to make a vehicle run. In most vehicles, the engine burns fuel, such as gasoline or diesel, to create energy. This energy is then used to move parts like pistons, which turn the wheels. The engine is often considered the heart of a vehicle because it powers all its movements. The performance of the engine, such as how efficiently it uses fuel and how much power it produces, directly affects how well the vehicle runs.
