Traffic lights provide visual signals to regulate the flow of vehicles at intersections. They indicate when it is safe for vehicles to proceed, when to stop, and when to exercise caution. Following traffic lights helps to ensure traffic safety and reduce the risk of accidents.
The first known traffic signal appeared in London in 1868 near the Houses of Parliament. Designed by JP Knight, it featured two semaphore arms and two gas lamps. The earliest electric traffic lights include Lester Wire's two-color version set up in Salt Lake City circa 1912, James Hoge's system (US patent #1,251,666) installed in Cleveland by the American Traffic Signal Company in 1914, and William Potts' 4-way red-yellow-green lights introduced in Detroit beginning in 1920. New York City traffic towers began flashing three-color signals also in 1920.

The first road accident in the US is not on record.
Several counties in the U.S. are known to have no traffic lights, primarily due to their rural nature and low population density. Notable examples include Kalawao County in Hawaii, which is located on the island of Molokai, and several counties in Wyoming, such as Niobrara County. These areas often rely on stop signs and other traffic control measures instead of traffic lights. Overall, counties without traffic lights tend to be less urbanized and have fewer major roadways.
