This design is actually worse than the traditional one. Like Mac said, it doesn't work for color blind drivers and even if you're not color blind, it can be hard to differentiate the colors with overwhelming sunshine.

Also the function of the sand glass could just as easily be achieved with a countdown time, something that a lot of stoplights have.

Guess the designer worried more about looks than functionality.

A lot of people seem to have a hard time imagining how long 35 years in prison can be.

They have already payed for their actions, making them continue living an aimless life in prison is just cruel and excessive.

I thought this would be a pretty interesting article, but he lost me at adult "gamers" being allowed to vote. Nothing wrong with playing videogames.

Pretty weird to see something Estonian on this site :]
