Traffic warning indicator system

A method of use of a traffic indicator warning system for a blind corner system has the steps of:

• a. a first vehicle is detected by a motion sensor and magnetic sensor of a first unit;
• b. the first unit communicates to a second unit that the first vehicle is entering the blind corner system;
• c. the second unit provides signals to prevent traffic nearby from entering the blind corner system using a first indicator light based on the communication received from the first unit, wherein a second indicator light configured to indicate that the second unit is non-operational when the unit is not able to communicate with the first unit;
• d. as the first vehicle departs the blind corner system, the first vehicle is detected by a second unit's magnetic sensor;
• and
• e. the second unit signals using the first indicator light to a second vehicle to enter the blind corner system;
• wherein while the first vehicle is in the system, all other signals indicate that traffic may not enter the blind corner system.

A system for preventing collisions in blind corners comprising:

• a. a plurality of indicator warning units, wherein at least one of the plurality of indicator warning units comprises
• i. a weather-resistant chassis;
• ii. a rechargeable battery within the chassis configured to power the at least one of the plurality of indicator warning units;
• iii. a motion-detector mounted to the chassis, configured to detect moving vehicles;
• iv. a metal detector mounted to the chassis, configured to detect moving vehicles;
• v. a transmitter/receiver within the chassis having an antenna, wherein the transmitter/receiver is configured to communicate with one or more of the plurality of indicator warning units;
• vi. an indicator assembly mounted to the chassis, the indicator comprising:
• 1. a first indicator light configured to indicate to a driver to stop and wait based on a signal received from the one or more other traffic warning units;
• 2. a second indicator light configured to indicate to a driver that the unit is non-operational when the unit is not able to communicate with the one or more other traffic warning units;
• and
• 3. one or more concave and reflective surfaces;
• 4. wherein the one or more concave and reflective surfaces are configured to channel light from the first indicator light or the second indicator light to the driver;
• wherein the first indicator light comprises a plurality of mono-colored lights or a plurality of multicolored lights;
• and wherein the second indicator light comprises a plurality of mono-colored lights or a plurality of multi-colored lights;
• b. detecting a first vehicle entering the system;
• c. sending a notification that the first vehicle has been detected;
• d. providing traffic signals that the first vehicle has been detected;
• e. detecting the first vehicle exiting the system;
• and
• f. providing traffic signals that the first vehicle has exited the system.
