Even though they might cause frustration at times, stoplights keep traffic moving smoothly (albeit maybe a bit slower than we would all like).  Today is International Traffic Light Day, so instead of being annoyed at hitting that red light, let’s appreciate the continuous flow of traffic, and even the zipper merge.

International Traffic Light Day dates back to August 5, 1914, when the first electric traffic signal was installed in Cleveland, Ohio. Today, let’s show our appreciation with a traffic light-themed playlist.

So for today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs that say “stop” or “go” would you like to hear?
