Traffic System 101 years ago!

We may have wondered some time while crossing the roads or while giving our speed a breaker at the traffic signal and some of us may out of his/her curiosity would have asked or inquired where this traffic signal did came from? Who invented this and when it was first forced to action?  All of such questions can be answered here with this blog. I have collected data from different sources just in order to enrich your knowledge, and off course mine too about the traffic signal, its origin and implementation.

The invention of the traffic signal goes way back to the 19^th century on 9^th December 1868 in London where it was first implemented and was brought to use to direct the traffic across the parliament street. Those were the none-electric and gas operated traffic signals which were to be operated by the police officers themselves in order to control the movements Roads which means they were a manual at once. This was used nearby Bridge Street, great George Street, and Parliament Street.

This project was put on hold after an explosion accounting to the injuries to a policemen operating the signals.  After almost three decades an American succeeded this traffic system and promoted an advanced electronic lights that focused on the similar issue and got more international attention. This also marked the introduction of colorful light in the traffic signal with Green and Red Colour which are still in use over the years. It was not possible unless or until Lester Wire, a former detective in Salt lake city came up with his new and most effective idea 1912 and traffic lights began springing up across the united states. Shortly after.            Many other Americans also come up with their idea for the same one of them were Garrett Morgan.             

Latter on it was discussed and decided to use electronically controlled traffic signal instead of one governed by the human being in order to avoid the extra costing on it and the first electric traffic light was installed and out into use on August 5 1914 in Clevland, Ohio. And thus then journey of the traffic light system began and it got worldwide publicity then.  Now it has been used in most part of World and is getting more and more advancement day by day.
