DETROIT, Mich. (WILX) - On this day in Michigan history:

Oct. 15, 1920, Detroit made traffic history. The first-every four-way stoplight was installed at the intersection of Woodward Avenue and Michigan Avenue.

The invention transformed driving, setting the standard for intersections around the globe and proving that Motor City’s innovation extended beyond the car itself.
