I hope that this idea might result in reducing accidents:
My driveway ends at a quite busy street. I am always afraid that the drivers of the vehicles will not see me,
when I go out a ways on the street in order to clear the snow away from the entrance of my driveway. I thought that I needed a flashing red light on my snowblower perhaps powered by the alternator on my snow blower. But I was shopping at Walmart one day and found 2 lights that trucks or RV vehicles use when they have to make an emergency stop on or at the side of the highway. They place these lights on the highway behind and in front of their vehicle. They are about 3inches by 2.5 inches , have a flat bottom , and are made of red plastic, (Cost was Only $5 each) They have a bright LED flashing light , They are powered by 2 AAA batteries and the batteries will last a long time. I have had mine for 3 years and are still going strong, I have accidentally left them flashing for several days and still have the same batteries. There is an on-off switch on the back. I attached mine to the top of my cab of my snowblower on each side. Friends that have passed by on the street , have remarked about their noticability and brightness..
THe name on the lights is AUTOLITE flareglow
