Granville T. Woods did not directly help Garrett Morgan with the invention of the traffic light. While both inventors made significant contributions to technology in the early 20th century, Morgan is credited with patenting the first three-position traffic signal in 1923. Woods, known for his work on electrical and mechanical devices, focused on innovations in railway and telecommunication technologies. Their paths did not directly intersect in the development of the traffic light.
