To humans RED means stop or danger in our brains.
The traffic light as we know it today was invented by Garrett Augustus Morgan, the son of former slaves. Before that there was a gas lantern signal light in England, but that was before automobiles. There was a railroad light version later, but it wasn't like our modern version. If you didn't mean "traffic light" then i don't know.
The very first traffic light was a revolving gas lantern with red and green lights installed in a London intersection in 1868, before the advent of automobiles. A later version of the traffic light based on railroad signals was installed in Detroit, Michigan, in 1920.
IC 555 is a simple timer integrated circuit device and used for traffic light timing to control traffic flow.
