    Morgan had witnessed a serious accident at an intersection, and he filed a patent for a traffic control device having a third "warning" position in 1922. The patent was granted in 1923,[20] though this was not the first system with a warning, a three-light system being invented in 1920 by William Potts, and previous systems having audible warnings. William Potts (May 1883 - 1947), a Detroit police officer, is credited with inventing the modern, three-lens traffic light in Detroit in 1920. (The two-lens, red/green traffic signal was invented in London in 1868). In 1920, Potts designed the first four-way, three-color traffic signal tower, which was installed at the intersection of Woodward and Michigan Avenues in Detroit in October 1920.[2]

    William Potts is actually credited with this, in DETROIT, credited with inventing the modern, three-lens traffic light in Detroit in 1920. At about the same time, Garrett Morgan of Cleveland, Ohio realized the need to control the flow of traffic. A gifted inventor and reportedly the first African American to own an automobile in Cleveland, Ohio, he invented the electric automatic traffic light.

    SALT LAKE CITY HAD WORKING TRAFFIC LIGHTS SINCE 1912. 5th AVE IN MANHATTAN HAD WORKING 3 LIGHT TRAFFIC TOWERS IN 1920. YOU ALSO HAD THE POTTS TRAFFIC LIGHT SYSTEM BEFORE GARRETT MORGAN'S. MORGAN PATENTED A PIECE OF PAPER IN 1923. ITS ALL A LIE. WHEN THEY STARTED TO WRITE BLACK HISTORY YEARS BACK. WHITE LIBERALS AND BLACK RADICALS CONJURED UP THESE LIES AND NEVER REALIZED THAT COMPUTORS WOULD ADVANCE LATER ON, WHERE BEFORE IN ORDER TO DISPROVE SOMETHING YOU WOULD HAVE TO SPEND WEEKS COMBING THROUGH BOOKS IN THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS TO SUBSTANTIATE THESE FACTS, BUT GOT CAUGHT IN THEIR LIES WITH THE ADVENT OF COMPUTORS. BLACK HISTORY IS VERY RICH AND HIGHLY ADMIRED. THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO FABRICATE LIES WHICH IN TURN WOULD DISCREDIT BLACKS AND THEIR TRUE ACHIEVEMENTS. BEWARE OF MANY THINGS THAT ARE CLAIMED IN BLACK HISTORY AS WITH GARRETT MORGANS CLAIM, THEY WERE FABRICATED LIES AND BLACK HISTORY IS FILLED WITH LOTS OF IT. IT WAS A COMMON PRACTICE FOR PEOPLE TO PATENT IDEAS AS WITH GARRETT MORGANS PATENT IN 1923. PEOPLE DID THIS JUST IN CASE SOMETHING FROM THEIR PATENT WAS EVER TO BE USED THEY COULD COLLECT ROYALTIES AND PROFIT. THE TRAFFIC LIGHT HAD ALREADY EXISTED. WHAT NOBODY KNOWS IS THAT GARRETT MORGAN PATENTED WORKING ARMS DISPLAYING STOP AND GO JUST IN CASE SOMEONE WAS COLOR BLIND. THIS WAS THE BASIS OF HIS PATENTED SINCE COLOR BLIND PEOPLE COULD NOT SEE COLORS. BUT MANUFACTURERS OVERCAME THE COLOR BLIND ISSUE BY STACKING THE LIGHTS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM WHERE TOP IS RED, MIDDLE YELLOW AND GREEN AT THE BOTTOM. I'M JUST TELLING YOU TO BEWARE OF WHAT IS CLAIMED IN BLACK HISTORY.

    Not really. The guy who actually invented the Traffic Light was white. Fact, most of the inventions that black people claim black people invented were actually invented by white people. One funny example, there was a list of black inventors being posted in Instagram. Over 90% of the list was wrong and misleading. On that list it claimed that Robert F Flemming Jr invented the guitar. The problem was that Mr Flemming was born in 1839...180 years ago. But the oldest known guitar is over 400 years old. Mr Flemming did create a guitar, but not invent the first guitar.

    Robert H. When you say MOST were invented by whites that’s a bold statement. Since the white man met the black man he’s been busy trying to oppress and discredit him. Not vice versa. The guitar my friend was invented in Africa and that’s irrefutable. The earliest form of guitar was the Krar Harp invented in Mauritania in the 9 century. Later in Spain in the 1500’s a newer design was created called the Guitarro. Robert Fleming created the MODERN DAY guitar design which is still used today. That’s the reason he gets the credit for it. Fleming’s guitar designed was created to produce a bigger sound than the previous guitar versions.
