# Contemporary Eurasian Stoplights The Kayserius Traffic Light Was Designed Specifically for Turkey By Michael Hines | Published 2013-07-04 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayserius-traffic-light References: [dvice](http://www.dvice.com/2013-7-3/art-lebedev-imagines-new-modular-traffic-light-design) & [artlebedev](http://www.artlebedev.com/everything/kayserius/) Art Lebedev Studio has designed the Kayserius traffic light for Kayseri, Turkey. The city, located in the central part of the Eurasian country, asked the studio to create a traffic light that was modern and progressive, like the city itself. The result is the Kayserius traffic light, a [slim stoplight](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shift-pro) that is both functional and eye-appealing. Kayserius still uses the same color scheme as other traffic lights, but it also displays the words "Go," "Stop" and "Caution" in addition to its colored lights. The overall look of the lights is certainly modern; you don't realize how fat today's stoplights are until you've seen a [slimmer design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pyl-lighting) such as this. Art Lebedev Studio kept cost in mind with this design. The entire light is one piece, making creation cheaper and installation easier. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Slimmer Traffic Lights:** The Kayserius traffic light design highlights the opportunity for slimmer, more modern and cost-effective traffic light designs. - **Incorporating Text in Traffic Lights:** The inclusion of words in addition to colored lights in the Kayserius traffic light design opens up possibilities for clearer communication and enhanced traffic safety. - **Modernizing Urban Infrastructure:** The Kayserius traffic light design reflects the trend of updating and modernizing urban infrastructure to match the progressiveness of the city. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Urban Transportation:** The urban transportation industry can benefit from innovative traffic light designs that improve safety, efficiency, and aesthetics. - **Smart City Technology:** Integrating text and modern design in traffic lights presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the smart city technology industry. - **Civil Engineering and Infrastructure:** Advancements in traffic light design, like the Kayserius traffic light, create opportunities for disruption and transformation in the civil engineering and infrastructure industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [IoT-Connected Traffic Beacons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/traffic-beacon-concept.md) - [Traffic Light-Inspired Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/traffic-light-bench.md) - [Pedestrian-Detecting Crosswalks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-pedestrian-crosswalk.md) - [Autonomous Driving Headlights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automated-driving-marker-lights.md) - [Urban Robot Traffic Safety](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polis.md) - [Stone Waste Street Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pebble-street-light.md) - [Tech-Enhanced Safety Bike Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rear-bike-light.md) - [Style-Conscious Cyclist Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/town-mouse-center-light.md) - [Lantern-Like Light Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-kyeol-series.md)
