What that does is getting signal from the transmitter and alert you of upcoming emergency vehicle or trigger the traffic light to turn green for them. Either way.

Where could I find something like this? Also, how do I find info on it?

I already looked, it appears that a few companies that made these devices went out of business a few years ago. I did not see any reports of any of these 'devices' being illegal like Banjo claims. Still would like to know more on that.

I've heard that deaf people are actually safer drivers, because they don't get distracted by sounds like hearing people do. Driving is a very visual activity, and we are very visual people.
