Google marks 101st anniversary of first electric traffic signal with doodle Wednesday August 05,2015

Google on Wednesday August 05,2015 marked the 101st anniversary of first electric traffic signal with an interesting doodle on its homepage.

The Google doodle, which is in black and white, shows the red and green lights of the traffic signal at the centre while vehicles and carriages with the Google alphabets on them move across the streets following the traffic signal rules.

The first red and green traffic lights were installed on the corner of Euclid Avenue and East 105th Street in Cleveland, Ohio, on August 5, 1914, although the original design though came from a Salt Lake City policeman named Lester Wire, who came up with the idea two years previous in 1912.
