Free Standing Traffic Signal on a Highland Park, Michigan Street, circa 1922
Add to SetSummary
Traffic signals regulate the movement of vehicles and people through intersections. This photograph from about 1922 shows a traffic light in front of the Highland Park State Bank in Michigan. It had only two lights -- red and green. By the mid-1930s three-color traffic signals, with an amber "caution" light, had become standard.
