Purpose

To prepare a traffic light system which can switch between five colour states depending on time
intervals. The states are, greenLeft, yellowLeft, green, yellow, and red. The system will stay on these
states for 15 seconds, 5 seconds, 40 seconds, 10 seconds, and 70 seconds respectively. The system will
always start on the greenLeft state. The system can be interrupted at any time and will either reset or
end afterwards. The wait time for the red state can also be lowered to 25 seconds if either a pedestrian
request-to-walk button is pressed or if there are at least 6 cars waiting at the intersection.

States are, greenLeft , yellowLeft, green, yellow, red

1. Declare, prevState, interval, timer, cars, walk, interrupt = false, reduce = false
2. Set prevState to red
3. Set state based on prevState
