Concept: Solar-powered Traffic Lights

We’ve seen concept solar-powered traffic lights before, and here is another variant, conceptualized by a Chilean designer. This traffic light aims to take over the traffic control duties and uses an LED display that is capable of displaying additional information such as the maximum speed limit and the notification of incoming emergency vehicles, aside from the usual red, yellow and green indicator lights. The system is designed to connect with the pedestrian crossing in order to ensure that pedestrians are able to get across the roads safely too.
