On 9 December 1868, [4] the first non-electric gas-lit traffic lights were installed outside the Houses of Parliament in London to control the traffic in Bridge Street, Great George Street, and Parliament Street. [5] They were proposed by the railway engineer J. P. Knight of Nottingham who had adapted this idea from his design of railway signalling systems [6] and constructed by the railway signal engineers of Saxby& Farmer. The main reason for the traffic light was that there was an overflow of horse-drawn traffic over Westminster Bridge which forced thousands of pedestrians to walk next to the Houses of Parliament. [7] The design combined three semaphore arms with red and green gas lamps for night-time use, on a pillar, operated by a police constable. The gas lantern was manually turned by a traffic police officer with a lever at its base so that the appropriate light faced traffic. [8] The signal was 22 feet (6.7m) high. The light was called the semaphore and had arms that would extend horizontally that commanded drivers to "Stop" and then the arms would lower to a 45 degrees angle to tell drivers to proceed with "Caution". At night a red light would command "Stop" and a green light would mean use "Caution". [3] Although it was said to be successful at controlling traffic, its operational life was brief. It exploded on 2 January 1869 as a result of a leak in one of the gas lines underneath the pavement [9] and injured the policeman who was operating it.

The first system of traffic signals was installed as a way to replace police officer control of vehicular traffic outside the Houses of Parliament in London on 9 December 1868. [8] In the first two decades of the 20th century, semaphore traffic signals like the one in London were in use all over the United States with each state having its own design of the device. In many cases, it was controlled by a traffic officer who would blow a whistle before changing the commands on this signal to help alert travellers of the change. [9] The yellow light is actually the most misunderstood traffic signal in the Philippines. This light indicates that the red light, which means stop, is about to appear. Hence, drivers should stop (when it’s safe) or when not in an intersection.In 1949, the first traffic light in the continent of Asia was installed in Haifa, Israel. [25] The first traffic light in South India was installed at Egmore Junction, Chennai in 1953. The city of Bangalore installed its first traffic light at Corporation Circle in 1963. [26] Computerised signals [ edit ] Several intersections in Wellington, New Zealand, have alternative green man figures. Eight intersections near Parliament Buildings have silhouettes of suffragette Kate Sheppard, [37] while four intersections along Cuba Street have silhouettes of drag performer and LGBT rights activist Carmen Rupe. [38] Traffic can cautiously enter the intersection to make the movement displayed by the arrow, yielding to pedestrians and other vehicles

Take the positive side of a red LED and insert it into pin 31. The positive side is usually the longer lead, but if they're the same length, the flat side of the outer casing is negative. Imagine a set of people having a heated discussion in a closed room. The conversation can turn into a complete mess if there is no coordinator to look after these people and guide the chatter. In such a situation that isn’t controlled, all we would hear is random shouting and noise, as noone would want to be left behind, so everyone would try to express his/her point of view without consideringwhat the other person has to say. This kind of situation would ultimately lead to total chaos.

In 1912, a traffic control device was placed on top of a tower in Paris at the intersection of rue Montmartre and the boulevard Montmartre. This tower signal was operated by a policewoman and she used a revolving four-sided metal box on top of a glass showcase where the word "Stop" was painted in red and the word "Go" painted in white.
