Traffic lights are one of the most important traffic control tools with the role of safe traffic management and accident prevention, which has led to the increasing importance of developing research and decisions related to it; So that the use of advanced tools such as programming to manage when the lights are on is only a part of these wide-ranging actions. The evolution of the traffic light, which has been adapted to the needs of the day, shows the increasing growth of instrumentalism in the category of social control, which has intensified with the elimination of the human factor and the emphasis on similar tools such as traffic control cameras; and the prevalence of this view can be seen in related research. Lack of attention to social research and studies, at least in Iran, in contrast to the increasing attention to visual features, geometric factors, etc., in addition to the passively and mechanical perceptions of citizens' traffic actions, which is based on data from cameras and other sensors installed in the city , has caused the results of projects to be ineffective and not very efficient despite huge costs, and on the other hand, it has denied citizens the opportunity to participate in solving urban issues. This research, using the documentary-analytical method and using the social control theories of Parsons, Mead, Hirschi, Weber's instrumental rationality, Marcuse's technological society, Homans' exchange theory, etc., shows that it is possible to use participatory control and agentical-educational instrumentalism instead of tool-oriented methods in the traffic light category.
