Title: Where flashers are needed: stop, wrong way, and other warning signs
Post by: tolbs17 on July 23, 2021, 08:41:02 PM
These (https://www.google.com/maps/@35.8708782,-78.864598,3a,15y,164.27h,92.19t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sZAIFomAOKJu8-Dp-n2Jr7w!2e0!7i16384!8i8192) are wrong way flashers. Can we use more of these as well as the LaneAlert 2x system on more highways and interchanges?

And I've seen flashing stop signs, just not here in North Carolina. And no, I'm not talking about this (https://www.google.com/maps/@35.6006555,-77.5928292,3a,41.8y,234.68h,82.65t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sp1VLMHMnACxPV6vQzn-O9g!2e0!7i13312!8i6656) or these (https://www.google.com/maps/@33.9362446,-78.5681486,3a,75y,142.89h,85.83t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1squQB8ODgLLnbuU77TBBwtQ!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3DquQB8ODgLLnbuU77TBBwtQ%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D216.86087%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i13312!8i6656). Or even this (https://www.google.com/maps/@33.9364418,-78.5699664,3a,35.9y,102.65h,84.96t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sk14DwIcvDPN9Al35MP6DBw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656) but I'm rather talking about devices like this (https://www.globalindustrial.com/g/safety/signs/parking-traffic/solar-powered-flashing-led-traffic-signs). Can we invent more of these around? I'm sure they will help reduce crashes.

Apparently we have different types. Which one seems like the best one?
