The traffic light timer is important that regulate the traffic passing through the road effectively. The signal system helps to control the traffic flow and they do experience the lost time.

Traffic Light Timer: Reduce Accidents In The Intersection
1. Traffic Light Timer: Reduce Accidents In
The Intersection
Traffic demand has increased rapidly in the last couple of years. Most of the cities
face overcrowding issues regularly as junctions are functioning above their capability.
When the traffic demand increases the safety level will be decreased. The traffic light
timer is important that regulate the traffic passing through the road effectively. The
signal system helps to control the traffic flow and they do experience the lost time.
The traffic signal timer shows the time remaining digitally for the stoplight indication
such as red, yellow, and green. It works well at the fixed-time signal but they don’t
practice for an actuated signal at the road. When the time constraint is present, the
driver makes the wrong decision at the amber onset that causes an accident. Many
mechanisms have been developed to enhance the efficiency and safety level of the
traffic flow.

3. Different types of timers
The traffic timer provides the extra estimation of the time remaining until the next
phase will be changed. The timer can be classified into two types such as image
countdown timer and numerical countdown. Every type has unique features so you
can choose the right time based on your requirements. The major difference
between the timers is that the image timer is interpreted. The numerical timer
display an accurate time left.
In the recent survey, the latest countdown timer at the intersection would help to
reduce the start-up lost time. The traffic light controller is mounted inside the
cabinet. The cabinet consists of a power panel, detector interface panel, and loop
detector amplifier, and others. It allows the police to disable signals and other parts
easily. The controller helps to reduce the travel time and enhance the traffic
handling the road capacity. It encourages the travel in a certain speed limit to come
across green light.

5. Why use an LED traffic bulb
Nowadays, many cities are
using the LED bulbs in traffic
lights. When compared to
other lights, the LED bulb is
energy efficient and offers
perfect visibility. It is brighter
and emitting light evenly that
makes them visible in all
weather conditions. A
significant reason for
using led traffic light is that
they offer long-lasting
durability. It lasts for more
than one lakh hours than
incandescent bulbs. The
incandescent bulb only lasts
eight-thousand hours. So you
can save money by using the
LED traffic bulb. It also
increases the safety of the
intersection and road.
