Earlier in the week I was thinking about what a traffic light would look like if I had designed it. If I designed a traffic light it would be an equilateral square shape. The leading edges of the traffic light would have a frame around it that was black and white striped.
The squared traffic light would be split down the middle. On the left site would be a grid like panel filled with dots to make written information like the time and temperature and traffic conditions further down the road. Or to make signs about the junction like no right turn. The grid of dots would be light emitting diodes and have a resolution similar to 90s Tamagotchis. The left screen would also show a count down timer for when the light would change.
The right hand side would be the signal. Four rectangular coloured signals would be used, Red to stop yellow to prepare to stop or wait. Green to go and blue when the light is not active as a traffic light.
