Yeah but with a flashing light, if you look during an "off" phase, you don't see anything for a little while. Animated would/could show one segment on always

I'd like to orange turn signals come back! They could even have an arrow inside them and toggle between inside and outside. Maybe thats too goofy, but at least something would always be illuminated. Here's a goofy SVG to show the concept

Turn signals in the EU are required to be orange. It's the US which doesn't have any laws regarding their color.

Yeah in context I'm Australian where turn signals are orange as well.

The US is wild in terms of its commitment to "maybe the brake lights are faulty" style.
