Traffic lights are operated by creatures who live inside them

i used to believe that there were little people in the street lights that payed attention to the cars and traffic, so whenever they felt it necessary, they would switch it. They lived in the lights.

When I was a child I though that there were little gremlins in the traffic lights that switched the lights. It always seemed like the lights changed at the exact right moment!

When I was little I used to think there was a man inside a tiny box full of buttons and monitors and switches, below the ground in the middle of every intersection and that he controlled all the traffic lights.

When I was 5 or 6 I used to believe there were itty bitty people living inside the stoplights that worked in front of a huge control panel (think what pilots look at while flying) that were in charge of changing the lights from green to yellow to red and vise versa. (I also thought they wore headsets to let each other know it was time to turn the light)

I used to believe that there were little tiny men in white coats inside of stoplights who would watch for cars and change the color of the lights accordingly.

I used to believe there were people sitting in each traffic light, overseeing their designated intersection and changing the lights at their discretion.
