Thanks to its thin body, Svetoforus-3 has a contemporary, hi-tech feel.

Svetoforus-3 streamlined form does not steal attention from the critical part: the traffic signals. The bottom display features text backing up the main color signals.

Over-the-road model

The signal panels and displays are made of LED clusters. The back of the traffic lights features an extra display, which, due to high contrast, improved the displays visibility against a busy cityscape.

At daylight and during nighttime

Svetoforus-3 has efficient production cost and is low-maintenance. The body is one solid cast piece, which lowers the production cost, simplifies the mounting construction, and makes the installation and maintenance easier.
