Traffic Questions?

Question

What's the difference between a flashing green light and a flashing red light?

What do those vertical traffic lights mean? They usually have 4 circles and sometimes there are two red ones. Explain those.I'm always lost and I can never find anything. I don't know streets or avenue numbers. Any tips with this?
