Traffic light monument is located in the Central area of the city of Novosibirsk, at the intersection of two city streets - the Siberian revolutionary Committee and Serebrennikova. A monument in the nation has two names - "Policeman" and "the Monument to the first traffic COP".

The initiators of the monument became the Director of "Autoradio-Novosibirsk" V. Balankin and the head of Department of traffic police across the field Colonel S. Stellmach. The monument is dedicated to the 70th anniversary since the founding of the traffic police and symbolizes the passing of the baton from the man to the modern system.

One of the first traffic lights within the city appeared in the 1940s It was a three-section electric lights, which were near the oldest in the Novosibirsk school №12. The first traffic lights near educational institutions was held by the decision of the city authorities to protect students from traffic accidents.

Grand opening of Russia's first monument to the traffic light took place in June 2006 and was timed to the day of the city of Novosibirsk. City mayor Vladimir Gorodetsky, together with heads of regional police and regional management of traffic police to the music of a brass band inaugurated a sculptural composition. The monument is made of bronze in full size. He portrays a nameless sentry, who cautiously and unconcealed interest is looking at adjusting technique.

Near the monument to the first traffic light is always crowded. Here I like to be photographed children and guests. Traffic light monument in Novosibirsk gives a lot of positive emotions and is one of the fun attractions.
