See below for some fun facts about traffic signals – who knew? Did you know that on Aug 5th 1914, a four-way traffic signal was installed in Cleveland, Ohio? It was the first electric traffic signal that resembles what’s seen all over the world today. Did you know what the yellow light did not exist until the 1920’s? Did you know that you can see the red light sooner than the green light? Science has validated the decision because red light has a longer wavelength than green so it can be seen from farther away. This is why the colour red was chosen for stop and green for go. Did you know that while the traffic light seems like it’s seemingly unchanged since the intervention of the amber light, it’s evolved over the decades to be a cutting-edge device, sporting energy saving LEDs and being controlled by large scale central traffic management centers in most...
