I'm from Asia, but I have visited USA and Europe.
In Asia and Europe, turn signals are orange blinkers at the rear. They are distinct from the red brake lights which are a whole different element.
In USA, it's the brake lights that blink when you turn on the turn signal! And it blinks in red! There's no orange.
Who decided that was a great idea?!
The first time I was in USA, this red element started blinking in the car in front of me, and for a moment I was confused.
- I didn't even realise turning was his intention.
- When I did realise turning is his intention, I thought the owner of that particular car modified his tail lights, because he thought it was cool. Eventually I realized the brake lights blink for all newish cars.
Also, for new European cars (like, BMWs and Audis in particular), the orange blinkers that we get in Asia/Europe actually look pretty cool, with some sweeping orange LEDs designs in some cases. Too bad America misses out on that.
