We’re coming up on 110 years since a “traffic signal” was first used in North America. Electric Traffic Signals first appeared on Cleveland’s streets in August 1914, when the American Traffic Signal Company installed one of their “interlocking high reflector signals” at the intersection of E. 105th Street and Euclid Avenue. Designed by James Hoge, it had just two colors, red and green, with the words “stop” and “move.” Having spent this past Monday in Cleveland, I had a chance to ride the City’s Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system right through the historic intersection of E. 105th Street at Euclid Avenue. As with many other things, current technological progress has removed any history of past advances, but it’s cool to recognize just how far “traffic operations” has come in just 110 years!

From accurately marking layouts to meticulously breaking concrete, and seamlessly transitioning to efficient digging, the operator’s adept handling of the machine brings a sense of harmony and coordination to the construction site. Each movement is executed with a blend of technical expertise and finesse, showcasing the art of multitasking in a complex environment. This seamless orchestration not only enhances productivity but also highlights the operator’s critical role in transforming construction projects, ensuring that each phase is completed with utmost efficiency and precision. video rights : Respective owners #excavation #engineering #technology #construction #civilconstruction #engenharia #engenhariacivil #civilengineering #civilengineering
