THE FIRST ELECTRIC TRAFFIC LIGHTS

In the early 1900's, the world was developing at a very rapid pace, and with the growth of
industrialization, cities became more crowded. Furthermore, with the invention automobiles, the traffic on
the roads increased significantly, so there was a need for a better traffic system.

In 1912, an American policeman, Lester Wire, who was concerned with the increasing traffic,
came up with the idea of the first electric traffic light. Based on Wire's design, the lights were first
installed in Cleveland, Ohio, on August 5, 1914, at the corner of 105th and Euclid Avenue

The first electric traffic light had only red and green lights; it did not have a yellow light like
modern- day traffic signals. Instead of a yellow light, it had a buzzer sound that was used to indicate that
the signal would be changing soon.

In the year 1920, a policeman named William Potts in Detroit, Michigan invented the first four-
way and three-coloured traffic lights. Apart from red and green, a third colour - amber (or yellow) - was
introduced. Detroit became the first city to implement the four-way and three-colored traffic lights. In the
1920's, several automated traffic signals were installed in major cities around the world. The modern
traffic light still uses this famous T-shaped model with three different colors.
