A

Before roads needed traffic lights, railways had used signals(信号)to control train traffic.In early days, these signals included a ball and something that looked like a kiteWhen the kite was on top, it meant danger; when the ball was raised,it was safe.

In 1841, a developed railway signal was used at the London station . It included a signal arm in the horizontal(水平的) position which meant “stop”. The signal was painted red so that it was easy to see and could attract the drivers’ attention.

At night, oil lights were added on the top. A red light meant “stop” and a white light meant the drivers could go on.

In January 1876, a train knocked on another train running ahead on the same roads, because the signals were not clear enough.13 people were killed in the accident and the others were badly hurt.

Then people changed the signal. The signal for “stop” became a red light and a yellow light was added to tell the drivers to drive carefully.In 1893,a green light took the place of the white light,because the white light was often mistaken for a street or house light.

Since railway signals were introduced,city officials(官员) decided to try them out on the roads of London

Every year thousands of people get hurt or die when they are crossing the road.

Most of these people are old people and children.Old people often get hurt or die because they can't see or hear very well. Children usually meet with accidents because of their carelessness. They forget to look and listen before they cross the road.

How can we lessen(减少) traffic accidents? All of us must obey the traffic rules. Forth drivers, they shouldn’t drive too fast.If they drive too fast, it will be very difficult to stop the cars in a very short time.For the pedestrians(行人), it’s very important to be careful when they are walking on the road. Therefore. when we walk across the road, we must try to walk along the pavements. We must stop and look both ways before crossing the road. Look left first, next look right, then look left again. Only when we are sure that the road is clear, we can cross it. The right way to cross the road is to walk quickly. It’s not safe to run. If people run across the road, they may fall down. Teens should try to help children, old people or blind people to cross the road, and never play in the street
