#20 is coming tomorrow, i think?

#21 will be in this city in 2 days...

#17 in 3 days and had a new clue and I googled it

The modern electric traffic light is an American invention. As early as 1912 in Salt Lake City, Utah,
So Monday there will be a GPS location for that one.

So they're coming fast and furious.dancedroid

Yes, but there are also references to it being in as many as 3 other citys as well.

Ok, I am just going over the clues. It says for #19 that if you are looking for #20, head a bit south tomorrow and you will find #19. That was posted this morning. Most of us agree that #20 is Boston. Philadelphia is more than just a 'bit' South of Boston.

Some of the other clues do not add up as well. Like #17. We have 4 different cities where the modern traffic light is rumored to be invented. Yet none of those are within a 5 hour drive of where the worlds largest concrete plant is. Perhaps the Verizon tweeters need to check their facts a bit better.

The first modern traffic light was invented here. In 3 days, Droid X designate #17, the latest in smart phones will be here.

​

In 1910, Earnest Sirrine of Chicago, Illinois filed for a patent (no 976,939) for what is considered the first automatic street traffic system, using non illuminated words STOP and PROCEED.

In 1912, Lester Wire of Salt Lake City, Utah invented an electric traffic light that used red and green lights. However, he did not apply for a patent. The next year, James Hoge received patent no 1,251,666 for a manually controlled traffic light system using electric lights. It was installed in Cleveland, Ohio in 1914, displaying the words STOP and MOVE.

The first traffic light system to use red and green lights were patented by William Ghiglieri of San Francisco, California in 1917 (patented no 1,224,632). His design could be operated manually or in automatic.

The amber light was added in 1920 by William Potts, a Detroit policeman. He actually invented several traffic light systems, including the overhang four-way system, but did not apply for patents. The first person to apply for a patent to produce inexpensive traffic lights was Garrett Morgan, who received his patent in 1923

Automatic control of interconnected traffic lights was introduced March 1922 in Houston, Texas.

Ashville, Ohio claims to be the location of the oldest working traffic light in the United States, used at an intersection of public roads until 1982 when it was moved to a local museum.

The first interconnected traffic signal system was installed in Salt Lake City in 1917,[citation needed] with six connected intersections controlled simultaneously from a manual switch.

Good luck deciding which one it will be lol

They already mentioned that this droid is near the worlds largest cement plant...that is in Michigan...makes it easier to figure out....
