The Traffic Light Diagram provides a clear visual framework for presenting three-step processes using universally recognized signal colors, designed specifically for PowerPoint and Google Slides presentations.
Show Risk, Caution, and Go Decisions Using a Visual Metaphor of Signals
Centered around a vertical traffic light graphic, this infographic aligns three horizontal segments with corresponding lights—red at the top, yellow in the middle, and green at the bottom. Each light anchors a bar extending laterally: the red and yellow segments to the left, and the green to the right. These bars include a circular number marker and a text field for titles, followed by a content area for detailed descriptions. The layout is mirrored and symmetrical, enhancing visual balance while guiding the viewer’s gaze through the sequence.
In presentations, traffic light diagrams serve as strong metaphors for processes involving caution, decision-making, or sequential actions. Red signals indicate stopping points or risks, yellow for evaluations or midpoints, and green for progress or positive outcomes. This specific layout is ideal for illustrating stages like risk levels, project phases, compliance status, or strategic checkpoints. For instance, project managers might use it to communicate task readiness, while educators can visualize levels of understanding.
The downloadable file includes two pre-designed slides that come fully populated with placeholders for text and icons. All graphic elements, including the traffic light and text boxes, are editable. You can change colors to match your brand or replace numbered icons with custom visuals. This design supports both light and dark backgrounds and is available in Standard (4:3) and Widescreen (16:9) layouts. It works seamlessly in PowerPoint (PPTX) and Google Slides.
