The present invention relates to a crosswalk signaling device, and more particularly to a crosswalk signaling device that allows pedestrians to easily know the signal change of the crosswalk.

In general, the traffic light is installed on the road to guide the traffic of the vehicle and guide the pedestrians to cross the road safely. The traffic light is divided into a traffic signal for the traffic of the vehicle and a pedestrian signal for the pedestrian to walk the crosswalk.

In the case of traffic lights that guide the traffic of vehicles, green, orange and red lamps are provided to give traffic and stop signals of vehicles.In the case of pedestrian traffic lights, green and red lamps are provided. Signaling allows or prohibits traversal of.

Looking at the operation of the traffic light as described above, first, in the case of a traffic light, the green lamp is turned on when the vehicle passes, but when the vehicle is stopped, the green lamp is turned off and the red lamp is turned on. The orange lamp turns off briefly while the green lamp turns off and the red lamp turns on.

In the case of a pedestrian traffic light, the red lamp is turned on when the vehicle stops walking and the red lamp is turned off and the green lamp is turned on when the walking is allowed. At the end of the walking signal, the green lamp blinks for several seconds and the red light turns on.

In the case of the conventional traffic light and pedestrian traffic light configured as described above, the orange lamp is turned on or the green lamp blinks in the process of changing the signal to give attention to the driver or pedestrian. Often not recognized.

In other words, the driver checks the green traffic light while driving, and if the orange lamp blinks suddenly near the traffic light, the driver often stops in front of the traffic light because of the speed of the vehicle, which leads to a traffic accident. Is often there.

In addition, pedestrians check the green signal of the pedestrian traffic light and cross the street, and when the green lamp blinks, they are embarrassed. In particular, the elderly, children, disabled people who do not walk fast or do not quickly detect the change in the signal has a problem that the risk of the accident is higher.
