Interactive Traffic Lights

This document describes an Arduino sketch for an interactive traffic light system with pedestrian crossing. It defines pin assignments for the car and pedestrian lights, a button input, and timing variables. The setup function initializes the pin modes and turns on the initial green car light and red pedestrian light. The main loop checks if the button is pressed and enough time has passed since the last change, calling the changeLights function. This function sequentially changes the car and pedestrian lights, with delays to match light sequences and crossing times.
