Tired of waiting at traffic lights?  Well, its inevitable, isn’t it? Perhaps it would help if you knew how long you had to wait at the light. Designer designed this traffic light that would let you know exactly how long you had to wait or exactly how long you have to scoot through! Although I’m not sure that this design would work for colorblind drivers, it sure would be cool to know how much longer I had to apply mascara before I had to pay attention to the road again. Yanko features two other alternatives to traditional traffic lights and signs that are pretty darn cool as well.

Hah! This is pretty neat. Motorcycle riders in Jakarta, Indonesia, often suffer from eye irritation (red eye) caused by pollution on the road, so when Visine wants to advertise its product, a clever ad agency "modded" a red light that has a 60 seconds countdown timer, to show how fast the eye drop works!
