vertical traffic light
vertical traffic light, 세로 신호등
Vertical traffic lights are commonly seen in Asian countries such as South Korea and Japan. The lights are arranged from top to bottom: red, yellow, and green.
This type of traffic light allows for efficient use of space on narrow roads or in complex urban environments. They are particularly common as pedestrian signals.
세로형 신호등은 한국과 일본 등 아시아에서 흔히 볼 수 있는 신호등입니다. 위에서부터 빨간색, 노란색, 초록색 순서로 되어 있습니다.
이 형태의 신호등은 좁은 도로나 복잡한 도시 환경에서 공간을 효율적으로 사용할 수 있어요. 특히 보행자 신호등으로도 많이 사용됩니다.
The color arrangement of vertical traffic lights is based on scientific reasoning. Red is the most visible color from a distance, which is why it's placed at the top. This is effective even in foggy or inclement weather conditions.
With the widespread adoption of LED traffic lights in modern cities, energy efficiency has greatly improved. In particular, South Korea's smart city projects are incorporating AI-powered intelligent traffic light systems to optimize traffic flow.
