Installation of traffic lights is a special work that many companies across the country do. Equipment is first procured from the supplier and then installed on the street. This includes all poles, head, button equipment, inspection and wiring. The cable network of cables is usually installed by the signaling company by the civil engineer before the start of the signaling company
Installation usually requires a temporary form of traffic management, which depends on the location of the installation, but is normally restricted to off-peak work to minimize the impact on existing highway networks. There are many serious dangers such as handling real-time traffic, working in a high-altitude place, using electricity, so when installing traffic signals it is necessary to follow a variety of safety and hygiene procedures.
Even if traffic lights are installed, it is necessary to "pack" them before turning on the power to minimize confusion with the driver. Otherwise, the driver may think that the traffic light is running.

The main considerations when setting traffic signals are traffic volume count and accident statistics. At installation, traffic lights can be addressed to specific operational challenges, such as blocking mass traffic on major roads and enabling traffic to pass from intersecting small roads. When programmed for optimum timing efficiency, the signal can increase the traffic handling capacity of the intersection and reduce the occurrence of angle or "wide side" collision. However, they are not a solution to all traffic problems. Most people are not aware that the rear end accident will increase as traffic lights are installed.
The traffic signal device is an electric device that informs the driver or the pedestrian that the driver or pedestrian has a right to pass at a specific intersection. The first traffic light was installed in London in 1868 and used semaphore "weapons" and red and green gas lights. Unfortunately, it has exploded and has over the last 50 years of control. However, in 1918 the first three color light signals were installed in New York and began to be used in the UK in 1925. In the early 1930s, in the United States, I asked the driver to talk to the driver using a microphone beside the road, trying to make the signal more "smart" or responsive to the vehicle.
There are various conflicting arguments about who is in charge of the world's first traffic signal. The equipment installed in London in 1868 has two signal arms that extend horizontally and show "stop" and indicate a "careful" signal at a 45 degree angle. In 1912, a policeman named Lester Wire of Salt Lake City, Utah had a wooden stick, attached a color to the red and green sticks, leading to overhead trolleys and electric lights. The most noteworthy thing is said that inventor Garrett Morgan was admired by inventing his T - shaped traffic signal, was patented in 1923, and then sold to General Electric.
