Abstract: An illuminated indication device for road traffic. A number of indicating points are formed with indicating lenses in or on an indicating surface. The indicating lenses have a light entry surface and a light exit surface and are illuminated by the rear face of the indicating surface, which has individually allocated light-emitting elements with a small diameter. One object of this invention is to make the indication device easier to read. The light entry surface and/or the light exit surface is shaped in such a way that the distribution of light intensity on the indicator surface extends further in a horizontal direction than in a vertical direction.
