More Than Signals
The Sólo is a modular traffic signal that can be easily disassembled and used for other purposes. A good example is the event of a road mishap, and how the lights can be intelligently used to create a detour for oncoming traffic. Even for road repairs; if the street is closed, may as well use the lights for marking out the hazard space! Clever use of LED lights ensure eco-sense and the modular format give the lights the versatility to be used in numerous circumstances.

It’s not very often that a traffic light needs to be more than a traffic light. They are of very simple construction to reduce cost, vandalism/tampering and increase efficiency. I can see this being a good solution for the described problems, without the necessity for it being a traffic light. Leave the traffic lights where they are and have these placed in emergency/construction vehicles.

Clever. I dig.
I also like the technical feature descriptions: “electric part thingy for the stuff and what not.” Or something like that.
