Whenever I see the moon I think of our fast-paced lives, constantly rushing around going somewhere. Remind yourself to slow down and appreciate the beauty of nature. There is a contrast between artificial(traffic signal) and natural(moon) light.

I think you need to ask yourself, would you take this picture if there were no contest? I want to be nice I just think this is taken only to meet the challenge.
The darkness accentuates the bright colors of the lights, but it doesn't do much for the detail of the shot. Not much to look at here, (I am looking at it without any glare on my screen, still hard to see much else in the picture). Also, the moon (I think that is what it is) to the right distrats from the image. Maybe if you had been able to take a different angle, in which it would be in say the top right corner, it would be better.
The shot would've been 10x as strong had you a green stop light in this shot (however that is likely impossible to frame). I like how this stop light shot actually shows both stages (caution and stop). It's the best of the stop light shots.
Did you fire your flash on this shot? A little light on the stoplight casing would have been nice in this shot... I also like the moon being in teh photo... nice touch!
personally I think the moon detracts from this. An off centered framing might have been a bit stronger too, or holding the camera vertically to get more in the frame.
