# Pliable Street Signals The Flexi-Safety Light Can Be Bent and Fastened to Signs and Boards By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-12-13 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flexisafety-light References: [red-dot.sg](http://www.red-dot.sg/en/online-exhibition/concept/?code=958&y=2013&c=9&a=0) Traffic cones, [reflective signage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radian-wingman), plastic barriers and caution tape are the sorts of indicators currently used to signify [road work and accidents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/active-worksite) along streets and highways. The Flexi-Safety Light is a proposal for a more universal marker that can be conveniently integrated into the existing setup of a roadside site. David Gatfield's idea is for an innovative type of pylon that's made from [flexible OLED panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moodi) that are coated in a urethane skin. The result is a durable and doubled-over translucent post that can be bent and curved to fit into a disorganized environment. The Flexi-Safety Light can be stood up along the shoulder of a freeway or magnetically connected to a sign. It can be charged and programed by a control panel in its protective case of six. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Flexible Lighting Solutions:** The Flexi-Safety Light showcases the potential for flexible OLED panels as a new lighting solution in various industries. - **Integrated Roadside Markers:** The proposal for a more universal marker highlights the opportunity to integrate marker technologies into existing roadside infrastructure. - **Customizable Safety Features:** The ability to bend and program the Flexi-Safety Light opens up possibilities for customizable and adaptable safety features in different settings. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Construction:** The construction industry could benefit from incorporating flexible lighting solutions into their roadside safety protocols. - **Transportation:** The transportation industry can explore integrating this innovative marker technology on roads and highways to improve safety and visibility. - **Public Infrastructure:** Public infrastructure agencies and organizations could adopt customizable safety features like the Flexi-Safety Light for various applications such as road work, accidents, or event management. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [IoT-Connected Traffic Beacons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/traffic-beacon-concept.md) - [Functional Lifestyle Flashlights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flashlight-concept.md) - [Character-Like Roadway Bollards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/safety-bollard.md) - [Flexible Orientation Camper Flashlights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flexit-pocket-light.md) - [Urban Robot Traffic Safety](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polis.md) - [Modular Urban Light Poles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shift-pro.md) - [Gesture-Controlled Turn Signal Armbands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flasher-armbands.md) - [Stone Waste Street Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pebble-street-light.md) - [Traffic Light-Inspired Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/traffic-light-bench.md)
