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?

Ever notice how when the lights are green some times you don’t even notice them? Red catches your eye even if you’re not 100% paying attention? In nature red is the color of danger: fire, blood, etc. Deep in our lizard brains we’re programmed to pay attention to the color red.
