<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
<script type="text/javascript">

            // var intervalID = window.setInterval(func, delay[, param1, param2, ...]);
            // var intervalID = window.setInterval(code, delay);

            var intervalID;

            function setTrafficLightColor() {
                intervalID = setInterval(changeTextColor, 1000);
            }

            function changeTextColor() {
                var tl = document.getElementById("id-traffic-light");
                tl.style.color = tl.style.color == "red" ? "green" : "red";
            }

            function stop() {
                clearInterval(intervalID);
            }
 </script>
</head>
    <body onload="setTrafficLightColor();">
        <div id="id-traffic-light">
