Virtually every car that you see on the road nowadays has red turn signals, but do you remember the amber-colored ones? Sometime in the 2000s, the automakers decided to phase amber turn signals out. Nissan is one of the few manufacturers that still offer amber-colored turn signals on their vehicles. Even the National Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has stated that Amber-colored turn signals result in fewer accidents (via Car Place).

But the problem persists and most automotive manufacturers don’t want to get rid of them. Instead, you have drivers who often mistake the red color turn signals for brake lamps or even worse. Red turn signals are one of the most unsafe features on a modern car and yet they’re here to stay.
