Toddler Panicking when car stops

My 2 1/2 years old daughter started to cry every time the car stopped at the red light or stop signs . The issue got a little bit better after explaining about red light = Sop and green light=Go .but for the past month has gotten a lot worse that is unbearable to put her in the car . She panics and screams her lungs out . I seeked  professional help but the tips she gave me doesn't work either . I wonder any one else has such an experience with their toddlers?  there has not been any incident in the car to provoke her trauma . Please HELP !

I can't really suggest much but maybe make it exciting? Like ready steady go? Make it a game who can see it go green first? It's something I've not heard before!
