Preliminaries

Welcome to the traffic light assembly page. Traffic Lights make your city way more real and the duckies feel more at home like this:)

At some steps, you see a small glue icon on it. Those parts are not separated anymore no matter if you are building a Watchtower (WT) or a Traffic Light (TL). If you arrive at such a step, make sure that the parts are really connecting rigidly. Maybe they are already stuck together without glue, but most of the time its wise to use at least some of it just for the security of our citizens! If you only want to build a single watchtower, see the instructions here.

There is a small yellow box in the top left corner of each picture. This box is telling you which parts are needed to complete that assembly step.

Make sure to connect the LED cables exactly as indicated in the picture. Otherwise, the LEDs will break irreversibly.
