British railroad signal engineer J P Knight invented the first traffic light in 1868, before there were any motor cars. The red and green lights were fitted on the Bridge street and the then George Street crossroad, outside the Houses of Parliament in London, England to control the flow of horse drawn transport and pedestrians.
