International Traffic Light Day
Every year on August 5th, International Traffic Light Day highlights the importance of the traffic light. It's also a day that commemorates the installation of the first traffic signal system.
Did you grow up in a small town or rural area? If so, you may not have been up with traffic lights. Small towns can usually get by with stop signs only. However, adding a traffic light usually results in a rise in population. It simply would not be safe to drive without these vital lights. Not having traffic lights would also greatly reduce the flow and speed of traffic.
In Cleveland, Ohio, August 5th, 1914, the world's first electric traffic signal was installed. The traffic signal was installed on the corner of Euclid Avenue and East 105th Street. Some people disagree about the exact location of the world's first traffic light. A traffic device in London in 1868 helped people know when to stop and when to use caution. A wooden box with red and green lights attached to a pole was installed by a Salt Lake City police officer in 1912, who inserted a wooden box with red and green lights onto a pole.
Despite these controversies, the date of August 5th, 1914, has remained the official date of the world's first traffic signal. The various types of traffic signals have aided pedestrians, bicyclists, horseback riders, and streetcars to navigate the highways more efficiently. Traffic in cities around the world has increased over the years. More traffic leads to more traffic lights. However, more traffic lights don't necessarily mean less traffic jam. The traffic lights aren't in sync every time. In addition, green lights can be too short or long.
