I noticed one of the over sized clocks on the roads had something the other ones didn’t. If you check the picture above you can see 3 black squares underneath the clock, those are going to be lane status indicators. Basically it will probably show a green circle (O) or arrow for open and a red X for closed. I’ve seen those used mostly in tunnel entrances but I guess they will be using them here during emergencies like accidents.

ahaa!!Bt I still m nt able to make any sence of these..Back whn they were installed,i was said to be sumthin to do wit the speed limit and redar monitoring..does anyone have the exact details?
I believe that with all the money that we have as a country, we should have the latest technologies in order to minimize traffic accidents all around Kuwait.
Yeah basically those black boxes will be used to direct traffic away from one of the lanes. Be it an accident, workers, etc. Seen it many times in France and it works quite effectively.
I wonder if anyone would actually follow the lane lights or (as usual) just use the closed ones because they can’t be bothered as usual…
Sure, those are lane indicators, most likely O & X. Seen them on 4th Ring Salmiya, good job, just worried about people understanding its importance and obeying traffic laws.
