On 28 December 2008 Hurriyet Daily News reported: The first solar-powered support traffic lights were installed at the Atatürk Airport's crossroads in Istanbul, Turkey. The installation is part of the Solar Crossroads Project, which is a solar-powered traffic signalling system that officials hope will be implemented throughout Turkey, if this pilot project is successful. Global Good News service views this news as a sign of rising positivity in the field of business, documenting the growth of life-supporting, evolutionary trends.

The solar-powered traffic lights will be unaffected by power shortages, officials say. This will help prevent traffic accidents due to signalling errors.

The Hurriyet Daily News reported, 'The solar-powered systems use 'Solar PV' panels developed using semi-conductor technology. These panels also store energy absorbed from sunlight in order to provide uninterrupted power at night or during overcast days.'

Industry officials stated the many advantages of using a solar-powered traffic signalling system. Solar power provides a source of clean, renewable energy; saves utility costs; prevents electricity strain; is unaffected by natural disasters; and the maintenance-free units have an economic life-span of 20 years.

The article stated, 'If the solar energy that reaches earth were to be fully converted to energy, it would be able to supply the energy needs of everyone for a full year, said the officials, adding that Turkey was at a great advantage being a second-degree solar country.'

Every day Global Good News documents the rise of a better quality of life dawning in the world and highlights the need for introducing Natural Law based—Total Knowledge based—programmes to bring the support of Nature to every individual, raise the quality of life of every society, and create a lasting state of world peace.
