ABSTRACT:
A substantially rectangular housing includes a broad planar face which includes a stenciled warning therein, such as "SLOW DOWN". A colored, transparent plate is disposed immediately behind the face. A strobe light and at least one lamp are contained within the housing behind the face and the plate. A circuit within the housing is adapted to be electrically connected in a known manner to the brake system of an automobile. The brake light is adapted for connection to an automobile. The circuit is configured in a known manner to activate the lamp in a steady manner when a driver applies the brakes of the automobile, as indicated through the brake system. If the brakes remain applied for a first pre-determined time period, for example 2 seconds, the strobe light will activate in a flashing manner. The strobe light will deactivate after a second pre-determined time period, for example 4 seconds. If at any time the brakes are released, both the strobe light and the lamp will be deactivated.
