"Feux tricolores" is the most appropriate way, otherwise, we go for the shorter version: les feux.
Feu rouge
Feu vert
Feu orange, are the right way to call them in French.

Fabee is right. Actually, I never use "les feux tricolores".
If you want to give direction, you say: Tu tournes aux feux à droite" (for instance)

In Quebec, the expression "les feux de circulation" is the most commonly used term. That's what the media and politicians use. In the streets, people usually say "les lumières".

Traffic light = Feu rouge.
Traffic signal = Signal de la circulation.
Stop light = Arretez la lumiere.

mahl like the "a" in "a la carte" er like in "her" euhz like in "books" with a "z" at the end rather than an "s" mohn like "on" in "ontario" but more nasal and don't finish saying the "n" The final "t" is pretty much unpronounced unless the next word starts with a vowel The accent is on the first syllable

In my part of the world we call them "feu rouge," "red light"
