HEARING AIDS
On August 5, 1914, a stoplight was installed on the corner of East 105th Street and Euclid Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio. It had two colors, red and green, and a buzzer to provide a warning for color changes. This allowed police and fire stations to control the signals in case of emergency. It was the world’s first traffic light. Come along with Tidbits as we fight our way through traffic! THE FIRST FACT “Traffic” comes from the Italian “traffico” meaning “to trade.” DANGERS OF DRIVING When autos were a new invention, Tennessee passed a law stating that any motorist who planned on taking a ride had to forewarn the community by placing notices in the local paper a week before the ride was to occur. In 1912 Nebraska passed a law stating all drivers at night had to shoot off a rocket every 150 yards, wait eight minutes, then drive ahead while blowing the horn and firing Roman candles. STARTLING STATISTICS If you are between 5 and 35, you’re more likely to die in a traffic accident than from any other single cause. One out of every 60 children born today will die in an auto accident. Traffic accidents take twice as many lives as do guns, knives, and all other weapons combined.
