Frankfurt’s first traffic light turns 100 – and signals the way to a connected future

It has now been 100 years since Frankfurt’s very first traffic light was presented in the Festhalle. Visitors were able to view this at the “Traffic Control Show” from 3 to 14 April 1926, and Frankfurt’s first traffic light went into active service on 7 April 1930. This development is still continuing: with the connected electronic systems found in vehicles today, mobility management is growing even more intelligent, safe and efficient. The latest solutions from the field of electrical and electronic systems will be on show at the upcoming Automechanika Frankfurt from 8 to 12 September 2026.
