Traffic Light I believe...
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.
The first automatic streetlight system was installed in New Milford, Connecticut in 1949. The first traffic light was used in 1914 in Cleveland.
The first traffic light was installed in London in 1868, but was gas powered. In the 1890's, electric lights were introduced.
The first manually operated gas lit traffic light was installed in 1868 in London, albeit it was short-lived due to explosion. The first safe, automatic electric traffic lights were installed in the United Statesstarting in the late 1890s.

Cleveland, Ohio Actually the first electric traffic signal was invented in 1912 in Salt Lake City by a policeman. It had two colors, red and green, and was installed at 200 South and Maine St. in the city.
Well, the first one that was used was in 1912 in Salt Lake City by Lester Wire, but the first one permanently installed was probably one in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1914. It was installed by the American Traffic Signal Company. These first ones only had red and green lights (like previous ones that used gas lighting in England). The three color ones were developed in 1920.
The first traffic light was built in front of the British House of Parliament in 1868.
The World's first traffic lights were installed in Detroit, USA in 1919.
