Indianapolis Inventor Proposes U-Turn Signal to Reduce Intersection Risk
An Indianapolis inventor has developed the U-TURN FLASHER, a patent-pending device designed to broadcast a driver’s intent to perform a 180-degree turn. By providing a distinct visual warning at intersections, the system aims to clear up driver confusion and mitigate the risk of collisions during complex maneuvers.
The device functions as an auxiliary signaling system, allowing motorists to clearly communicate a U-turn before beginning the movement. Beyond safety, the inventor suggests the flasher could lower the stress associated with waiting for a gap in traffic, as the clear signal signals intent to oncoming or following vehicles. The design emphasizes high visibility and ease of use, making it a potential addition for standard vehicle lighting configurations.
InventHelp is currently managing the licensing and sale of the patent-pending technology. The firm has prepared technical drawings and a prototype for interested manufacturers or automotive marketers. Those seeking further details on the SGM-745 project can reach the company’s Pittsburgh office at (412) 288-1300.
