Police Issued Foam Fingers

The other day when I was driving home, I approached a construction area on the road. It was very sunny, but the cop was standing in the shade. I could barely see his little, grey-gloved hand moving. I definitely could not tell if he was waving me on, or telling me to stop. Here is where those giant, foam fingers would come it handy. A green one can signal, “go” and a red one can signal, “stop”. They could wear one on each hand.

These would also be useful for pointing the way for detours, a yellow one perhaps. The color codes can be posted so everyone would understand and see the big finger of the law.
