No Title Given

by Luke Sullivan


On this day in 1923, the traffic light was patented. The traffic light was
patented by Garrett Augustus Morgan but it was invented by J. P. Knight.
I am going to tell you why I think the colors red, yellow, green were
invented. I think red means stop because it is an evil/bad color. I think
yellow means caution because it is not a good or bad color. I think green
means go because it is a good/nice color. The reason could have also been because they were his
favorite colors. His family could of also could have gave him ideas and he picked random colors.
There could have also been some code for it or law. He could have also been some reason for it
like a game as a child. He could have also really wanted those colors to mean stop, cation, and go.
The final reason is maybe his friend wanted those colors so he did it for his friend. That is why I
think the colors of the stop light are red, yellow, and green.
