New light-up lollipop invention set to save lives
There is a light and it never goes out.
Now, just because there’s no evidence to suggest Morrissey was singing about a future light-up school crossing lollipop, that doesn’t mean we can’t pretend he was.
Andrew Turner, an inventor from Country Durham, has created a prototype of a light-up school crossing patrol sign. The luminous lollipop has been invented to make lollipop men and women more visible to drivers, and to help prevent accidents on the school run.
Lightbulb moment
Mr Turner got his inspiration for the light-up lollipop when he witnessed a near miss during a dark winter morning in Darlington.
After building his prototype – with the edges of the sign lighting up for up to 8 hours on one charge – Durham County Council ran a trial. The results showed that drivers were braking up to 40% faster for the light-up stick than without it.
Andrew explained the importance of the invention and his plans for the future.
He said: “The modern driver needs something more visible to stand out because of the number of distractions, such as the abundance of brake lights and modern technology, on the roads.
“The only thing which has changed over the decades is the school crossing patrol person’s uniform – they’ve become more visible. So why not the stick?
“I really do believe it has the potential to save lives in the future. We’ve already hit our target in terms of performance, battery life and weight. Our next step is to be innovative in the manufacturing process to keep the costs down.”
Further trials are lined up in Durham. If they continue to show results like the first trials, don’t be surprised to see light-up lollipops on your roads in the near future.
And yes, to anyone wondering, it was really difficult to not make a ‘bright idea’ joke. Really difficult.

Greetings! Quick question that’s completely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My website looks weird when browsing from my iphone 4. I’m trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to correct this problem. If you have any suggestions, please share. Appreciate it!
I think you have remarked some very interesting details, regards for the post.
Hi there would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re
working with? I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m having a difficult time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m
looking for something completely unique. P.S Sorry
for being off-topic but I had to ask!
