The traffic light became popular in the early 20th century as urbanization and automobile usage increased, leading to more complex traffic situations. The first electric traffic light was installed in 1914 in Salt Lake City, Utah, which offered a more efficient way to manage traffic flow compared to earlier mechanical signals. Its widespread adoption was driven by the need to enhance road safety and reduce accidents at busy intersections. By the 1920s, traffic lights had become a standard feature in cities around the world.
