This article applied a sort of vacation queues model to deal with the problem of the traffic lights at a crossroads. With the condition that the distribution of the vehicles coming to the crossroads follows a Poisson distribution and there is no traffic stop, an M/D/1 model has been derived and a computational method has been given to get the optimal solution to the problem.
