Yellow blinking type traffic light

Abstract

To provide a traffic light for reducing confusion caused by a difference in the duration of a yellow signal of a traffic light on each road.SOLUTION: A yellow signal is set to a blinking type. When changing from a blue signal to a yellow signal, the number of times of blinking is set such that after the yellow signal blinks, the yellow signal changes to a red signal. When the yellow signal lighting is set to 3 seconds, the yellow signal blinks a constant number of times during 3 seconds, and then the yellow signal changes to a red signal. When the yellow signal lighting is set to 4 seconds, the yellow signal blinks a constant number of times during 4 seconds, and then the yellow signal changes to a red signal. The setting of 4 seconds results in a slower blinking speed than the setting of 3 seconds.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a traffic signal.

[0002] A means to solve the problem of reducing confusion caused by differences in the length of time that yellow lights are on at traffic lights on different roads

[0003] Yellow light fixed number Make it flash and then change to red. Example: If the constant is set to 4 For a traffic light with a 3 second yellow light duration, the yellow light will flash 4 times within 3 seconds. turns into a red light. For a traffic light with a 4 second yellow light duration, the yellow light will flash 4 times within 3 seconds. turns into a red light. In other words, a traffic light set to 4 seconds will flash yellow at a slower rate than a traffic light set to 3 seconds. Example: If the fixed number is set to 3 For a traffic light with a 3 second yellow light duration, the yellow light will flash 3 times within 3 seconds. turns into a red light. For a traffic light with a 4 second yellow light duration, the yellow light will flash 3 times in 3 seconds. turns into a red light. Similarly, a traffic light with a 4-second setting will flash amber at a slower rate than a traffic light with a 3-second setting. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0004] [Figure 1] This figure shows that when the fixed number of flashes is set to 4 and the yellow light duration is set to 3 seconds, the yellow light will flash 4 times within 3 seconds before turning into a red light. [Diagram 2] This figure shows that when the fixed number of flashes is set to 4 and the yellow light duration is set to 4 seconds, the yellow light will flash 4 times in 3 seconds before turning into a red light. [Diagram 3] This figure shows that when the fixed number of flashes is set to 3 and the yellow light duration is set to 3 seconds, the yellow light will flash 4 times within 3 seconds before turning into a red light. [Figure 4] This figure shows that when the fixed number of flashes is set to 3 and the yellow light duration is set to 4 seconds, the yellow light will flash 4 times in 3 seconds before changing to a red light. Effect of the Invention

[0005] The time that the yellow light of traffic lights is on varies depending on the road, such as on national highways, prefectural roads, and municipal roads. * Generally, the time is 3 to 4 seconds, but depending on the location, it can be as long as 7 seconds or as short as 1 second, so there is a big difference. This difference confuses the criteria for determining whether to stop safely, making driving difficult and leading to the risk of accidents. In this invention, the yellow light fixed number By having the yellow light flash at a different speed, the length of time the yellow light is on can be conveyed, preventing confusion and danger caused by differences in the length of time the yellow light is on.
