How did William L Potts come up with the traffic lights?=who inspired William L Potts?=
Garrett Morgan See website: http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/blgas_mask.htm ---- The world's first traffic light was operating in London, England, even before cars were invented. It was a revolving gas-lit lantern with red and green signals, but in 1869, the light exploded, injuring the policeman who was operating it. In the early 1900s Garrett Morgan, an African-American living in Cleveland, Ohio, developed the electric automatic traffic light, originally based on a semaphore-system. Shortly after this, Detroit police officer William L Potts developed the first 4-way three colour traffic light using red, amber, and green railroad lights.
He invented the traffic life because he was disturbed by the number of car accidents over the years. he wanted drivers to be moresafe,and to wast money.......
Garrett Morgan invented trafic lights so cars wouldn't crash into each other.
Lester Wire did not invent traffic lights. The modern electric traffic light system was invented by Garrett Augustus Morgan in 1923.
He invented the traffic lights!
GarretT Morgan is remember for inventing the Gas Mask && Traffic Lights && For sucking my dick ! :)
Garrett A. Morgan invented the traffic light in 1923. His design integrated moving parts to ensure that the lights would change in a timely and orderly manner, improving traffic flow and safety.
The whole world would have a lot of car attedints and would prolly have a lot of traffic
what did J.P Knight invent?
The first electric traffic light was invented by Lester Wire in 1912. However, the modern three-color traffic light system with red, yellow, and green lights was developed by Garrett Morgan in 1923.

The first electric traffic light was invented by Garrett Morgan in 1923. It featured three positions: stop, go, and a warning position that displayed both red and green lights simultaneously. Morgan's design laid the foundation for modern traffic control systems.
The modern electric traffic light was invented by Garrett Morgan in 1923. He was an African-American inventor who improved upon previous designs by adding a caution indicator between the red and green lights.
Garrett Morgan (U.S.A.) was an inventor and businessman from Cleveland who is best known for inventing a device called the Morgan Safety Hood and the gas mask in 1914. In 1923 he patented a traffic signal. I believe he also had a patent on a kind of sewing machine.Despite what some people may try to tell you, he did not "invent the traffic signal" ... he patented one kind of traffic signal; it wasn't the first, nor was it remarkably better than the many others that were being developed by many other people around the same time, and to the best of my knowledge no city ever actually used it.It's common for the traffic light myth to be trotted out during Black History Month, and it's unfortunate, because he really does deserve wider recognition for the safety hood that he not only developed but personally used in a heroic rescue of workers digging a water intake tunnel after a gas explosion and fire trapped them in there and killed the first people who tried to rescue them.
