# 5G-Connected Traffic Signals This Conceptual LED Traffic Signal Reduces Confusion By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2021-07-19 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/led-traffic-signal References: [yankodesign](https://www.yankodesign.com/2021/07/18/the-led-traffic-signal-gets-redesigned-with-a-single-screen-stoplight-for-the-21st-century/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+yankodesign+%28Yanko+Design+-+Form+Beyond+Function%29) & [artlebedev](https://www.artlebedev.com/) Many [urban intersections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/traffic-management-technology) boast an array of signs to inform drivers of how they should proceed which can require them to keep a focus on a lot of different areas at once, so this conceptual LED traffic signal is designed to change this. The traffic light brings the humble sign into the 21st century with a design that incorporates LED technology and will change according to the scenario. This means it will alert drivers of what they can and cannot do, while also incorporating a countdown to let them know how much time is left before the scenario changes. The conceptual LED traffic signal is the design work of the Art.
