In response to the persistent threat of Ukrainian FPV drones targeting logistical routes, russia has introduced an unconventional defensive solution, the traffic light system that alerts drivers to potential drone activity. This system, designed for use along vulnerable road sections, employs color-coded signals: green for no threat, yellow for detected drone activity at a distance, and red for imminent danger.
The concept was revealed by Serhii Flash, a specialist in communications and electronic warfare. While seemingly basic, the system reflects a pragmatic approach to safeguarding transport routes in conflict zones. The simplicity of its operation allows drivers to gauge risks in real time and adjust their movements accordingly.

Despite its straightforward design, the exact functionality of the traffic light system remains unclear. It is not known whether the warning devices are standalone units with integrated detectors or components of a more sophisticated network of sensors and indicators.
This is not the first time russian forces have implemented innovative counter-drone measures. Last year, anti-drone nets were installed over roads near Bakhmut to shield vehicles from aerial attacks. The traffic light system expands on this concept by providing dynamic, real-time threat updates, enabling more informed decision-making for drivers navigating high-risk areas.
