Abstract: The improved traffic signal indicating sign may be coupled to a motorist warning such as a traffic signal or to a traffic sign in advance of the traffic signal. The improved traffic signal indicating sign may extend beyond the edges of the motorist warning to which it is coupled and may call attention to the motorist warning. A backplate surrounding the motorist warning may comprise an inner border and an outer border. The inner border may comprise a plurality of border indicator lights which may be associated with the traffic signal and may be communicatively coupled, either directly or indirectly, to a controller for the traffic signal such that the border indicator lights may change to reflect the state of the traffic signal. The outer border may comprise a reflective strip to further increase awareness.
