Streamlining The Traffic Signal

Kayseri is a culturally rich city, located in the heart of Turkey. Commissioned by the municipality, Art Lebedev Studio has developed this modular traffic light design for them. As a scaled down version, this compact light fits perfectly in a progressive atmosphere. As a key innovative feature, the bottom display features text backing up the main color signals.

The signal panels and displays are made of LED clusters and the back of the traffic light features an extra display. The body is one solid cast piece and this makes it cost effective and easy to maintain.
