The walking man traffic light, commonly used to indicate when pedestrians can safely cross streets, was invented by traffic engineer William P. McCauley in 1951. This innovative traffic signal design was first implemented in New York City to improve pedestrian safety. The symbol quickly gained popularity and has since been adopted worldwide to enhance clarity for both pedestrians and drivers.
