The present invention provides a system for warning an individual of a potential traffic hazard, the system comprising radio signal transmission means configured to transmit a warning signal, radio signal receiving means configured to receive the warning signal, (a) sound transduction means configured to deliver audio to the individual, and sound altering means configured to alter the audio delivered to the individual, and/or (b) visual media display means configured to deliver a visual medium to the individual, and visual media altering means configured to alter the visual medium delivered to the individual, and/or (c) tactile stimulus means configured to deliver a tactile stimulus to the individual wherein upon reception of the warning signal by the radio signal receiving means, (i) the sound altering means alters the audio played to the individual such that the individual is made aware of the traffic hazard, and/or (ii) the visual media display means alters the visual displayed to the individual such that the individual is made aware of the traffic hazard, and/or (iii) the tactile stimulus means delivers a tactile stimulus such that the individual is made aware of the traffic hazard. As an example of operation, the warning may be triggered by a car horn (activation of the horn triggering the transmission of the radio signal), and the transmitted signal received by a smart phone carried by a user, with application software of the smart phone emitting an audible warning to the user.
