Signal Mediator Class - Exercise
Course Project, Part 6
Objective:
Write a SignalMediator class for the intersection that manages the four lights.
The
SignalMediator
is responsible for queuing requests and making sure that each light is green for a minimum amount of time. Furthermore, the mediator should provide access to the individual lights. The basic algorithm you want to implement has seven states that are cycled through in the following order. You can play with the minimum and maximum times if you like, but you must keep this order.

The
Inf
in state one means that the east-west lights stay green until a pedestrian on the north-south direction explicitly requests a walk signal. This is one of the most important classes in the system. It also offers many options for how it is written, so I am going to leave the exact details open. In the text area below, type or paste your answer and click the
