Traffic lights, or traffic signals, are located on most major corners in cities and towns around the world. The red, yellow and green lights let us know when it is safe to drive through the intersection and when to walk across the street as well as when to stop and let other drivers, bikers and pedestrians take their turns to continue on their way. The first electric traffic light had only red and green lights; it did not have a yellow light like modern-day traffic signals. Instead of a yellow light, it had a buzzer sound that was used to indicate that the signal would be changing soon. In the year 1920, a policeman named William Potts in Detroit, Michigan invented the first four-way and three-colored traffic lights. Apart from red and green, a third color – amber (or yellow) – was introduced.
