HourGlass LED Traffic Lights Concept by Thanva Tivawong – The new hourglass inspired design is not only visually appealing, but also very practical as now we can exactly predict the next change of the lights. I think everybody would love sitting in a traffic jam.

this looks brilliant, but the major flaw is with colorblind drivers, who depend on the distinct placement of red/green lights to be able to tell what color a traffic signal is. also, the countdown from red to green would encourage more drivers to burn-off at the lights. a better idea would encompass the improved technology available, with the countdown number suggested here (and used widely in Japan and Europe) lights in three distinct shapes (ie circle/triangle/octagon) rather than the current three circles (that only exist until now because of antiquated lighting tech once used), and similarly animated and sound-enhanced pedestrian signals to match (similar to Japan).

people shouldn’t be drag racing from traffic lights
if everyone just takes off at the same time and drives reasonably, the roads don’t jam up as bad. cuts polution too.
