Slide57Example
(Topic Sentence) The invention of the traffic light by Garrett Morgan made automotive transportation safer.
Before the traffic light’s invention,
“it was not uncommon for bicycles, animal-powered carts and motor vehicles to share the same thoroughfares with pedestrians. Accidents frequently occurred between the vehicles” (Federal Highway Administration). After the invention and implementation of the traffic light, the number of collisions was reduced and thus created a safer environment for automobile travel.
