I used to think that traffic lights were the strings of lights some shops have up at Christmas. I was realy unhappy when I found out the truth because I felt they needed a wider variety of colours!
I also used to think that traffic jams were caused by jars of jam that were left in the road and stopped the cars moving. It made sense at the time!
