40 Absolutely Brilliant Inventions That Should Be Way, Way More Common in the U.S.

Traffic lights were invented to keep drivers safe and to prevent traffic jams and accidents from occurring. However, they can only work as well as those that are following them. On particularly sunny days, it is difficult to see what color the light is or if it has changed as you wait at a red light. You may find yourself semi-blinded by halfway staring into the sun while deciphering whether the light is red or green – which can be quite dangerous.

Well, this inventor has made life significantly better by creating traffic lights that light up not just at the light bulb but all the way down the light post as well. Now, there’s no question as to what color the light is. We’re not saying this will eliminate traffic jams or accidents altogether, but it sure can help! At the very least, it makes it so the driver can’t claim they didn’t know the light’s color.
