Abstract
The present application discloses a Highway Hazard Warning Sign Signal for use on a motor vehicle such as the present day automobile. The invention discloses an apparatus for illuminating a readily visible distinctive sign or signal preferably located on a rear portion of the motor vehicle, to warn an occupant of the following vehicle that the forward vehicle occupant has observed something of sufficient concern that rearwardly located traffic should be warned and alerted to the possibility of an emergency. The distinctive sign signal embodies the illusion of light converging from a perimeter to an attention point and illumination progressively increasing from the perimeter reaching crescendo at the attention point. The embodiment herein discloses a switch actuating mechanism in conjunction with the steering wheel so that the switch may be thrown thereby energizing electrical circuit means to illuminate the warning sign substantially instantaneous with the sense of danger.
