Relevance of the topic: According to the observations of the World Health Organization,
strengthening legislation in the field of preventing road traffic accidents, enforcing it and
improving road safety will prevent many people from premature death and disability. But due
to the fact that such work is not carried out regularly in accordance with the requirements of
the time, very annoying accidents happen on the roads.
Every year, more than 1,250,000 people worldwide die as a result of car accidents, and 30-40
million people become disabled to varying degrees. The fact that the average age of the dead
and injured is 5-45 years makes us think deeply. Road traffic fatalities range from 9.3 to 64,.6
per 100,000 people worldwide.
Some infectious diseases (Ebola and others) claim the lives of about 10,000 people every year,
and car accidents claim the lives of about 3,500 or more people a day worldwide.

Of the 200,000 U.S. deaths during World War II, 400,000, twice as many, died in car accidents
on U.S. roads during the same period. There are many such examples.
In the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) 2006 report on the 1968 Geneva
Convention on Road Signs and Signals and the instruments of the Vienna Convention, each
state party to the convention has the right to develop and use symbols acceptable to its
country, in addition to using recognized characters are also marked. For this reason, in some
countries (USA, Europe, Australia, etc.) specific characters are used. For example, in the USA
there are also different road signs.
Purpose of the study:
The main goal of this study is to streamline road markings and traffic lights, to offer modern
signs and traffic lights instead of obsolete road signs, to reduce the number of car accidents
that sometimes lead to death on the world's highways, especially at intersections. , traffic jams
at intersections, local Aimed at preventing damage to the ecology of the area, as well as
preventing the poisoning of traffic safety officers who control traffic at the intersection in case
of traffic jams.
Results of the study: In the course of scientific work, road signs and traffic lights were analyzed.
Studied their impact on road users, their role in ensuring road safety. The study revealed a
number of shortcomings. The fact that road signs and traffic lights are not visible to road users
from a distance, and sometimes close (because of tall cars), makes them more of a hindrance
than a help. Such shortcomings are especially noticeable when there is no electricity at the
intersection. Due to the large number of vehicles on the roads in the current period of
economic development, there are large traffic jams at intersections. To reduce these
shortcomings, we managed to invent a multifunctional traffic light with traffic signs. For this
purpose, the Geometric traffic light, Traffic light (variations) and LED traffic light invented in the
Russian Federation were carefully analyzed. Their shortcomings are revealed. As a result, a
more advanced multifunctional traffic light was created from them.
The structure of the new traffic light looks like this:
Fig 3. The structure of the new traffic light
The appearance of the multifunctional traffic light is rectangular, the length is greater
than its width and height, and the base is painted in a light airy color. The main road is green
and the secondary road is red. The direction of travel on the main road and the secondary road
is indicated by white lines drawn on them.
A pedestrian lane has been arranged at the multifunctional traffic light at the intersection of
roads. Painted white and yellow.
Four red lines are drawn on the main road and four green lines on the secondary road to
indicate that vehicles entering the intersection must give way to each other when the traffic
lights are not working. Secondary roads are marked, allowing the main and secondary roads to
turn right before crossing.
Vehicles turning right from these roads give way to pedestrians and vehicles traveling on the
left before entering the highway.
The area where the main and secondary roads connect to each other, that is, in the center of
the intersection, is the dial. It flashes green, red and displays numbers about 50 cm in size.
Below the numbers is a green-red luminous arrow indicating a left turn. Depending on the
appearance of the intersection, the appearance of the traffic light adapts to it. For example, U-
shaped, T-shaped road intersections.

The principle of operation of a multifunctional traffic light.
This traffic light is multifunctional and works like a real traffic light when there is electricity at
the intersection. When the traffic light turns green, a green countdown timer starts at the
center of the intersection and traffic on the main road crosses the intersection until it reaches
zero. When the red light is on, a red countdown stopwatch starts at the center of the
intersection and vehicles on the minor road cross the intersection until it reaches zero.
Under the numbers on the dial are flashing green and red arrows indicating the left turn. A left
turn is allowed when the green arrow is on and the turn is stopped when the red arrow is on.
If electricity is cut off at the intersection and the traffic light does not work, then the anti-road
quality of the traffic light is demonstrated.
The implementation of this work consists of several stages:
1. Drivers wait until the intersection is free according to the previously learned knowledge;
2. Stand as close as possible to the sidewalk, do not step on the sidewalk or cross it;
3. If at this time a person is moving along the sidewalk, he must give way to him;
4. After that, the vehicles on the main road, that is, the green road, will start moving first;
5. The intersection is crossed by three cars from each lane of the main road. The number of cars
depends on the number of lanes on the road. For example, if the number of lanes on the road is
two, then the first vehicles will pass the intersection six on each side of the main road, if the
number of lanes is three, nine on each side, and so on;
6. Until the empty spaces on the main road are filled with vehicles moving from behind, the
intersection is crossed by vehicles of a secondary level, that is, along the red road, as above;
7. These actions will continue until the traffic light works. It is forbidden to park cars in the
center of the intersection.
Based on the work done, we came to the following conclusion about a multifunctional traffic
light:
1. Multifunctional traffic light meets modern requirements.
2. Multiple traffic lights and traffic signs at some intersections can be controlled by the
proposed four multi-functional traffic lights or traffic signs.
3. The multifunctional traffic light clearly indicates how long the vehicles on the secondary road
must yield to the vehicles on the main road, both with and without electricity.
4. Clearly defines when vehicles moving on a secondary road can continue to move.
5. White arrows indicating the main and secondary road on the multi-functional traffic light are
convenient for drivers.
6. Multifunctional traffic light meets modern requirements.
7. The use of multifunctional traffic lights allows you to avoid large traffic jams.
8. It can also be used as a multifunctional sign at intersections with relatively little light-duty
and passenger traffic. This has a positive effect on saving electricity and fuel, as well as on the
local ecology.
9. In the event of a power outage, traffic safety can be easily controlled using the signs on the
multifunctional traffic light.
10. There is no need to resort to the assistance of a traffic safety inspector to manage traffic
safety during a power outage, resulting in no damage to the health of workers.
11. These traffic lights are clearly visible to drivers from afar, and in the presence of traffic jams,
drivers are sure that they will not get stuck in a traffic jam for a long time. As a result, drivers
are not nervous and driving culture is improved.
12. Reduces fuel consumption due to the ability to quickly disperse traffic jams.
13. Reduces environmental damage caused by excessive fuel consumption in long traffic jams.
14. The multifunctional traffic light signals that a vehicle moving on the main road at an
intersection must give way to vehicles moving on a secondary road when approaching the
intersection, as a result of which the vehicle owner is forced to slow down at the Intersection.
This situation prevents possible accidents at the intersection.
15. Most importantly, the number of fatal crashes at intersections will drastically decrease.
16. As a result of using a multifunctional traffic light, there is no need to use the signs "Main
road", "Direction of the main road", "Give way", "Pedestrian crossing".
17. If necessary, traffic lights may be equipped with a sign for trucks, motorcycles, horse-drawn
carriages or “stop”, cameras and other signs, if necessary.
18. Training manuals for multifunctional traffic lights and signs will be created.
19. This traffic light and road sign is more economical than currently used traffic lights.
20. Launching the production of multifunctional traffic lights and selling them abroad will bring
material benefits to the state.
21. The introduction of traffic lights and signs will be a bold step towards implementing the
recommendations of the World Health Organization on road safety.
Summary. Year after year, problems on the world's roads are getting worse day by day.
According to the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) 2006 Report on the
1968 Geneva Convention "Road Signs and Signals", the rules are periodically updated to take
into account the growing requirements for the safety of people, protection of the external
environment, and rapidly advancing technological progress around the world (Report IEC UN,
New York and Geneva, 2007). Unfortunately, for about a hundred years now, no drastic
measures have been taken against the causes of road traffic accidents around the world. Our
research is focused on reducing intersection congestion, traffic accidents and related deaths. A
new road sign and traffic light were invented. According to the conclusions of domestic and
foreign scientists, the invented sign and traffic light should be a great success in practice.
Key words: Multifunctional traffic light, main road, secondary road, pedestrian corridor,
crossroads center, traffic light dial, traffic light flange, lines dividing the main road into two,
lines that divide the secondary road into two, road traffic accidents.
