Question

What is a 3 phase traffic light?

Answer 1

It all depends on the VPN setup! Microsofts default setting is to use the gateway on the remote. That can be changed to use the LOCAL gateway which will then put all internet traffic from your computer through your connection and not through the VPN. If you are using VPN software which your company supplied and not using Microsofts VPN connection then you will need to check the software to see what settings are available to you.

(to set the gateway, if it is MS and WinXP - click on Network Connections, right click on the VPN connector, click properties, when that screen appears, click on Networking tab, then click on the TCP/IP settings. That will bring up the TCP/IP settings for the VPN, click on the Advanced Tab at the bottom. You will find a check box which will show -'Use Default Gateway on Remote Network' if you uncheck that - you will use your local gateway!)



Many network admins lock the system so that you have to route all traffic through the VPN.



So the answer is, with standard settings, all traffic is directed through the VPN thus your companies system.



It may be possible to change that but it all depends on the software in use and your access to the settings of the VPN connection.





ADD:

Since you now tell us you use CheckPoint.. you will indeed use the REMOTE gateway so ALL of your internet traffic will be directed through the company VPN as long as that connection is active. I suggest you don't go anywhere you shouldn't while connected! It is all at the system administrators option but most will indeed force that selection. Its the secure safe method for the VPN to run.

Answer 2

A three phase traffic light is a traffic light that uses three colors in sucession in order to controll traffic and cycles normally every 30-45 seconds. From bottom to top the colors are green, amber, and red. Most operate automatically by timers, some have wire coils next to the light that when a vehicle with a rather large clearance hits it, then it will change to amber and then red. Finally some are controlled by pedestrians in rather non-busy intersections where the pedestrian has to hit the button to go through the crosswalk before the light will change. To answer your other question usually the light turns to a green arrow for turning cars while the straight through light remains red while the green arrow is lit up, and then after the arrow turns off the straight through light turns green which means people at that particular intersection may go straight through the light or turn right or left, but the left turning vehicles must yield to any oncoming traffic from the same intersection because they have the green light too. Hope this makes sense!

Answer 3

In traffic signal engineering, a "phase" is a particular movement.



"Main street green, cross street red" would be one phase.

"Main street red, cross street green" would be a second phase.

"Main street left-arrow green, all others red" would count as one of many possible third phases.



(To be really fussy, you'd count the "yellows" as separate phases. But that's only for programming, not for designing the timing.)

Answer 4

I would assume it has a stop/go/turn as the three options or functions.

Answer 5

red yellow green
