A traffic light system is a classic example of a process that cycles through a set of states—typically **"Red," "Green," and "Yellow"**—each for a fixed period. In a real-world intersection, the light changes states in a predictable order to manage the flow of vehicles and pedestrians. Modeling this behavior asynchronously allows you to simulate the timed transitions between states without blocking the rest of your application. By using Python's `asyncio` library, you can create a coroutine that switches the light's state after a delay, mimicking how a real traffic signal operates. This approach demonstrates how **asynchronous programming** can handle time-based events in a non-blocking way.
