Tired of waiting at traffic lights? Well, its inevitable, isn't it? Perhaps it would help if you knew how long you had to wait at the light. Designer designed this traffic light that would let you know exactly how long you had to wait or exactly how long you have to scoot through! Although I'm not sure that this design would work for colorblind drivers, it sure would be cool to know how much longer I had to apply mascara before I had to pay attention to the road again. Yanko features two other alternatives to traditional traffic lights and signs that are pretty darn cool as well.

When it looks like a martini, is that when the drunk drivers can go?

Have you considered that the creator of this does not WANT colourblind people to survive?

Bad bad idea. This would just be yet another reason for people NOT to pay attention to the road. Attention would have to be WAY too focused on the light instead of just seeing that it's green, red or yellow.

this has been done, and a lot more effectively. they simply put a ring of LED's around each light to show the time left in the current phase

Main Problem: Both Red and Green Light use the same Space, a person that cant discern between the two does not know if it is red or green
