Lakeland, Florida (mid-1920s) This traffic tower was erected at the intersection of Kentucky Avenue and Main Street to allow police officers to better direct traffic at the increasingly busy intersection. It was equipped with traffic lights controlled by the officer in the tower.

Chicago traffic tower (1927). These came in a variety of shapes and sizes, with, or without electric signals mounted on them. This photo is of one with a signal atop built by the Yellow Cab Co. of Chicago.
