A traffic light replicator which includes a display unit on the back of a large vehicle, such as a bus or truck, which displays the mode of operation of an upcoming stoplight such that a vehicle located behind the large vehicle may be made aware of the mode of operation of the stoplight when the stoplight has been obstructed from the view of the smaller vehicle. The traffic light replicator includes a control unit, a camera, and a display unit having multiple display lights. The control unit receives a signal from the camera indicating the mode of operation of the stoplight, and the control unit then commands the display unit to activate one of the display lights to correspond to the mode of operation of the stoplight, so as to alert the driver of a vehicle located behind the large vehicle of the current mode of operation of the stoplight.
