Abstract: A signaling system allows a front vehicle to give advance notifications of signaling intentions to a rear vehicle by activating an intent signal on a vehicle when an object, such as a foot, is in proximity to, and/or moving towards, a signal actuator. A detector portion emits a motion signal, such as a plurality of optical beams that form a grid on a planar surface of the brake pedal. An interruption in the grid actuates a radio frequency signal from the detector positioned in proximity to the brake pedal, to an indicator portion, positioned in a rear visible area of the vehicle. The indicator includes a light emitting diode strip that is visible from the car and may tilt and orient for variable viewing angles. The illumination from the indicator differs from the brake illumination to differentiate between intent to brake and actual braking.
