I really wanted to get this correct so I drew small circles (as cars) and counted the cars I needed to count. \text{I really wanted to get this correct so I drew small circles (as cars) and counted the cars I needed to count.}

The answer is 32.

To find how many cars are waiting on the traffic light you have to add 18 to 17 that equals 35 cars waiting on the traffic light. Then to find how many cars are between the second and the last car(35) to be easier to understand write the numbers from 1 to 35:
