Facts and Events
We knew nothing of Agnes - the record was found in 1997 while checking dates at Ingham County Clerks Office. The first traffic light, a pair of alternating red and green gas lamps, was installed outside Britain's Houses of Parliament in 1868 to keep the large number of horse-drawn carriages in the area from colliding. Unfortunately, it blew up, killing a passing police officer. That discouraged further experiments in traffic control for a while. The first automatic traffic light was installed in Wolverhampton, England in 1926. It remained in service until 1968. References
