Sand Glass is a concept traffic-light which gives visual feedback as to just how long you're going to be stuck at a junction. Using the hourglass as a metaphor, Sand Glass lets its LED-pixels bleed through the lamp's waist one by one, so you can see just when the lights will change.

What makes it great for everyone?

what makes it great?

It has a sensible interactive design, obviously you will be able to see how long to wait or be hurry for everyone, and it counts down 3-2-1 while the yellow light's turn on warning people to stop or be ready to go.

How is it going to prevent accidents?

i think that it will prevent so many accidents from happening because of the count down, when it starts it will warn people to stop or be ready to go. most of the drivers use their phones while the red light go off, so the new design and the count down will grab the driver's atention which will prevent an insane amount of accidents from happening each day.

The new traffic light design:

New design!

For years in every street all over the world we've been seeing the same traffic lights, isn't anyone bored of that old amber light?

the retiree of amber lights:

The Sand Glass could also remove the amber light altogether. The amber lamp is a throwback to times when both lights at a crossroads would be controlled by the same switch: flipping both lights simultaneously would be dangerous, so the amber light provided a buffer in both directions. With the clear visual timing-signals in the Sand Glass, amber could finally be retired.

The cost:

It's made for the same cost as it could presumably be made for the same cost as any other led traffic light.
