While waiting to cross the street at busy intersections, have you ever wondered who invented the traffic light? Most people credit the first traffic light to Nottingham engineer John Peake Knight. A railway manager, Knight specialized in designing the signaling system for Britain’s growing railway network in the 1860s. He saw no reason why this could not be adapted for use on the busy London intersections. Thus, he proposed a signaling system based on the railway movable-arm signal: Arms extending horizontally commanded drivers to stop, whereas arms lowered to a 45-degree angle told drivers to move on, resembling a traffic director’s gestures. Red and green gas lamps were added to the signal for use at night. A police officer was stationed by the side to operate the system.
Knight’s traffic signal was installed near London’s Westminster Bridge in December 1868, but the system was short-lived. A gas leak one month later caused an explosion in the lights, injuring the policeman operating it. Deemed a public hazard, the project was immediately dropped, and traffic lights were banned until their return in 1929 back to the British streets.
In the early 1900s, versions of the British traffic lights appeared in big cities in America, where traffic was on a sharp rise. Systems using movable arms were popular in Chicago, while those using the red and green lights were adopted in San Francisco. Patents with innovations on Knight’s ideas were filed nationwide. A major breakthrough was the yellow light invented by a Detroit police officer William Potts. Installed in Detroit in 1920, Potts’ three-color system allowed for the added signal “proceed with caution” to be displayed.
Now, with the emergence of self-driving cars, researchers have begun to suggest that traffic signals are no longer necessary. Intersections will operate in a way that cars automatically adjust their speed to cross through, while maintaining safe distances from other vehicles. In the near future, we may experience a brand new form of traffic management!

Characters:
Anna – curious student
Ben – student who loves history
Ms. Lin – their English teacher
Anna:
[looking at a picture in a book]
Hey, Ben! Look at this! Did you know traffic lights didn’t always exist?
Ben:
Really? So... how did people know when to stop or go at busy streets?
Anna:
That’s what I was wondering! This book says a man named John Peake Knight invented the first traffic light.
Ben:
Knight? Who was he?
Anna:
He was an engineer in Nottingham. In the 1860s, he worked on railway signals. He thought, "Why not use a similar system for streets in London?"
Ms. Lin:
[walking by and joining the conversation]
That’s right, Anna. He used movable arms—if the arm was straight, drivers had to stop. If it moved down at a 45-degree angle, they could go.
Ben:
Oh! Just like hand signals!
Ms. Lin:
Exactly. And at night, they used red and green gas lamps. A police officer had to stand next to the light and change the signals.
Anna:
Wow! That sounds kind of dangerous.
Ben:
It was! After only one month, the gas light exploded and hurt the policeman. So they removed the lights and stopped using them until 1929.
Anna:
So how did traffic lights become what we have now?
Ms. Lin:
In the early 1900s, America used different systems in cities like Chicago and San Francisco. Then in 1920, a police officer in Detroit named William Potts added the yellow light—so people could "proceed with caution."
Ben:
Three colors: red, yellow, green. Just like today!
Anna:
But what about the future? Will we still need traffic lights?
Ms. Lin:
That’s a good question. Some experts say with self-driving cars, lights may not be needed. The cars can slow down or speed up by themselves to avoid crashes.
Ben:
Whoa! That sounds like a video game.
Anna:
Yeah! But I still like the old story better—it’s like a science + history lesson!
Ms. Lin:
[laughing]
You’re both right. The history of traffic lights is full of smart ideas... and even a few explosions.
