    		Cleveland, Ohio, 1914

    On August 5, 1914, several years before Garrett Morgan invented his T-shaped semaphore-type signal, the American Traffic Signal Company installed red and green traffic lights at each corner of the intersection of 105th Street and Euclid Avenue in Cleveland.

    See this 1914 Motorist article documenting the debut of the lights:
