Abstract
A traffic light has three individual elements for producing a green signal, a yellow signal, and a red signal, and control unit for controlling the producing unit, the control units being formed and operating so that the element producing the green signal first generates a permanent non-blinking green light and thereafter the same element producing the permanent green light generates a green light which flashes for three-six seconds immediately before the yellow signal is produced, to give drivers an additional period of time to decide whether or not to stop when the yellow signal appears.
Claims2
A traffic light, comprising three individual elements for producing a green signal, a yellow signal, and a red signal;
- and control means for controlling said producing means, said control means being formed and operating so that the element producing the green signal first generates a permanent non-blinking green light and thereafter the same element producing the permanent green light generates a green light which flashes for three-six seconds immediately before the yellow signal is produced, to give drivers an additional period of time to decide whether or not to stop when the yellow signal appears.
