The　complexity　of　signal　controlled　traffic　largely　stems　from　the　various　driving　behaviors　developed　in　response　to　the　traffic　signal.　However,　the　existing　models　take　a　few　driving　behaviors　into　account　and　consequently　the　traffic　dynamics　has　not　been　completely　explored.　Therefore,　a　new　cellular　automaton　model,　which　incorporates　the　driving　behaviors　typically　manifesting　during　the　different　stages　when　the　vehicles　are　moving　toward　a　traffic　light,　is　proposed　in　this　paper.　Numerical　simulations　have　demonstrated　that　the　proposed　model　can　produce　the　spontaneous　traffic　breakdown　and　the　dissolution　of　the　over-saturated　traffic　phenomena.　Furthermore,　the　simulation　results　indicate　that　the　slow-to-start　behavior　and　the　inch-forward　behavior　can　foster　the　traffic　breakdown.　Particularly,　it　has　been　discovered　that　the　over-saturated　traffic　can　be　revised　to　be　an　under-saturated　state　when　the　slow-down　behavior　is　activated　after　the　spontaneous　breakdown.　Finally,　the　contributions　of　the　driving　behaviors　on　the　traffic　breakdown　have　been　examined.
