Info / Description:
Eko light is a simple yet, highly practical concept for traffic lights that not only helps preserve the environment by reducing pollution but promotes safer driving as well. Eko can be easily installed onto existing traffic light systems without much effort while significantly improving overall traffic dynamics.
There are many benefits of the Eko light, the main ones being:
Less pollution. Drivers can turn their engines off and cut carbon
emissions while waiting for the green light.
Less fuel consumption
Turning off your vehicle while waiting on the traffic light can lower fuel consumption in the long run.
Less stress Since you know exactly
how long you have to wait you can sit back and clear your head for a while. No need to keep your foot on the gas. Relax.
Safer driving- With the Eko light both drivers and pedestrians can be fully aware of how much time they have left before the light changes and that way reduce the chance for potential traffic accidents.
