In the newly completed the Municipalia 2007 fair, held in Lleida on 23-26 October, presented a new traffic lights and safety for pedestrians. "The role of this light is not regulate traffic", - said its creator, Josep Sarmiento-, "but that only provides the necessary information to the driver of the traffic lights and pedestrian phase, when the traffic lights of cars is in intermittent amber".
In cases where this occurs, generates confusion and doubt among drivers and pedestrians, with the consequent danger that this implies for the people. It is that currently the intermittent amber light, sometimes gives way to pedestrians, and sometimes not, this being the reason for such doubt among the users of the road.
The new traffic light transmits the information to drivers through openings in the sides of the bow visor of the traffic lights. These openings create tabs, which reflect the light of the traffic light and make it easily visible from the road where the driver with a simple look at the new traffic lights, provides the information necessary to pass safely, even though its semaphore is in intermittent amber.
