when did we start associating the colour red with stop and green with go?

Part of me is assuming it was to do with the first traffic lights, but then I also feel like it’s probably older than that. Does it have something to do with military battalions perhaps?

A fun bit of trivia… in Syracuse, New York there is one traffic light that has the green on top. The neighborhood was heavily Irish and when the traffic light was installed people bitched about the British color (red) being above the Irish one (green), so that’s the only light in the world where the green is on the top and red on the bottom.
