stop and go evolution

I personally live in a small town but we still have quite a few stop lights that drive me nuts! when i am going somewhere i am on a mission to get there as quickly as i can ( within reason) and it is so frustrating when you are sitting at a red light waiting for it to change or better yet the light just turned yellow so should i speed up and try to make it or is there not enough time? this new technology for street lights seems to take care of that problem.

In today's world the old fashioned blinking red, yellow, and green lights just don't cut it in comparison with this digital stop light. the first intriguing aspect is its shape which is associated with time in the average individuals mind. second is the counting down sequence for go and stop. If people know the actual time left before a light changes i think it adds a level of extra protection to the roads. I say this because if people are aware of time they will be less likely to risk running a red light. thus, decreasing the chances of accidents on intersections with this stop light design. four stars from Steph on both creativity and practicality
