Red LED’s embedded in STOP signs are also available including a solar panel to keep them powered. My town has purchased a few BUT the engineering dept says they’re very expensive. The flash rate on those ⬅️ arrow signs is much too slow, that is the off time.

Must be a hell of a markup because the components are dirt cheap. Not to mention if the primary power is solar then they're little more than a novelty

I love your videos and want to see more please please do better traffic visibility next time. I'm hoping you will look back and see how risky this is, you even know it's a bad stretch. Just my input, as much as I love your content I bet your family loves you even more. You are worth having traffic control ❤

Streetlights would DEFINITELY be the best solution BUT finding a municipality willing to pay for the electricity even with low power LED’s is extremely difficult in rural areas. They often have few streetlights even on the town’s roads!
