International traffic light day – August 5: interesting facts and photos of the traffic light tattoo

In the modern world there are a huge number of gadgets that make our lives easier and safer. We practically do not think about such inventions and their history, we rarely even think about value..

It is to such inventions that a traffic light belongs, which not only allows transport and pedestrians to move safely, but also frees a person from round-the-clock work, who, in the absence of a traffic light, must regulate traffic.

The traffic light is about one and a half hundred years old, but it does not lose its importance, although it has undergone a lot of changes in the history of its existence..

In order to indicate the importance of the invention of the traffic light, a holiday was established, International Day of the Traffic Light, which is celebrated annually on August 5.

Interesting facts from the history of traffic lights

The first pages of traffic light history are rather sad. The first traffic light was invented by an employee of the railway, John Peak Knight, the device was installed in 1868 in London, near the Parliament building.

During the day, the first traffic light worked on the principle of a semaphore, and at night it shone with gas lanterns – it was controlled mechanically.

The world’s first traffic light worked for less than a month – it exploded and injured a policeman who was nearby. After that, a ban was even introduced on traffic lights..

A more “upgraded” version of the traffic light appeared in 1910 thanks to the inventor Ernst Sirrin, who patented his invention.

Already on August 5, 1914, the first electric traffic light was installed in Cleveland, USA, which had two colors (red and green), emitted a sound signal and was controlled by a person remotely.

The first, already three-color traffic light came to the USSR only 10 years later, and devices for regulating the movement of pedestrians appeared only by 1960..

Traffic lights were controlled by traffic police officers, automated systems appeared later, after a decision was made on the feasibility of introducing an expensive solution.
