A detailed traffic light, textures are included. History On December 10, 1868, the first traffic lights were installed outside the British Houses of Parliament in London by railway engineer J.P. Knight. They resembled railway signals with semaphore arms and red and green gas lamps for nighttime use. The gas lantern was turned with a lever at its base to face the appropriate light towards traffic. Unfortunately, it exploded on January 2, 1869, injuring the policeman operating it. The modern electric traffic light is an American invention. In 1912 in Salt Lake City, Utah, policeman Lester Wire invented the first red-green electric traffic lights. On August 5, 1914, the American Traffic Signal Company installed a traffic signal system on the corner of 105th Street and Euclid Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio. It had two colors, red and green, and a buzzer to warn drivers of color changes based on James Hoge's design. The design by James Hoge (USPTO #1251666 September 22, 1913) allowed police and fire stations to control signals in case of emergencies. In 1920, police officer William Potts created the first four-way, three-color traffic light in Detroit. Garrett Morgan patented a traffic signal device in 1923, but it was not a precursor to modern traffic lights. The first interconnected traffic signal system was installed in Salt Lake City in 1917 with six connected intersections controlled simultaneously from a manual switch. Automatic control of interconnected traffic lights was introduced on March 22, 1922, in Houston, Texas. The first automatic experimental traffic lights were deployed in Wolverhampton, England in 1927.
