Introducing the Traffic Blinker app, it is an Apple Watch app that displays a blinking arrow or other styles to clearly signal when you are about to turn left on the street. Designed for watchOS, it helps provide a visible warning to others.
Show other drivers a clear warning that you are about to turn onto that street
Traffic Blinker helps you create flashing traffic signals to warn other drivers on the road. This way, they will know when you are about to turn left onto a street. Use the Traffic Blinker app to stay more visible and safe on the road. You can also customize the warning traffic signs from a solid flashing orange block, flashing arrow, moving arrow, white arrow or even a red Stop sign.
While the blinking arrow is active, you will feel a gentle tap on your wrist thanks to the Apple Watch’s Taptic Engine, accompanied by an audio ping with each blink. This combination of touch and sound helps ensure you are aware the signal is active and functioning properly.
