Traffic Light Controller circuit
The Traffic Light Controller circuit using CD4017IC The circuit’s timing and sequential operation is done by two CMOS ICs (IC1 and IC2) while the actual power switching is done by Triacs.

Traffic Light Controller circuit using CD4017 IC
From the Traffic Light Controller circuit using CD4017 IC, a 10V negative power supply is obtained directly from the mains by means of D1, R1, D2, and C1. Gates N1 through N6 constitute IC2 while IC1 is a Johnson counter. N1 – N3 is wired as an astable multivibrator whose time period can be adjusted between 1 second and 10 seconds with VR1. The decade outputs of IC1 are wired such that when Q0 and Q5 are high, the output of N5 goes low.
The outputs of N4 and N6 become low when Q1 to Q4 and Q6 to Q9 become low respectively. Since we have a negative supply, the low output of any of the hates N4 to N6 causes the respective Triac to fire.
