A STOP IN CLEVELAND!
Cleveland has a lot of history! The
city boasts the Rock &Roll Hall of
Fame. It's the place where you can
find the house from "A Christmas
Story movie! But Cleveland has
given us a lot more than those
treasures. In fact on this very
day in 1914 Cleveland gave us
the first electric traffic light!
Other hand operated signals
before that were all well and
good for horse and buggy
traffic. But one the automobile
came along the speed of things
picked up. The initial signal was
set up at the corner of Euclid
Avenue and 105 Street. It had
only red and green lights. No
amber! So now you know where
the traffic light came from. And
if I were a betting man I'd wager
the first car horn blast came about
two hundredths of a second after
that light turned green and the driver
up front failed to drive on instantly!
Hope you're obeying
all the traffic signals and that all
your NEWS is good!
