Monday, crews removed the traffic lights at Seventh and West Muhammad Ali Boulevard. The lights were replaced with large stop signs, officially making the intersection a two-way stop.
Red and green traffic lights have been around since the 1800s, when British traffic officers used to rotate gas lamps that burned red and green to control the movement of mostly horse-drawn vehicles.
