Why do european cars have yellowish-orange winkers at the back of the car for signaling left and right turns and american cars don't? (their break light flickers, instead of having a dedicated winker)
I believe that american cas used to have that kind of orange lights....
But about european cars I can tell you why it is orange, in our "circulation rules" orange is the color for "careful" and red is the color for "obligation/forbidden" when you turn left or right you are informing the others that you are doing that so the lights are orange, it means "be careful I'm turning left" but when you use your breaks it's to say to the car behind you "STOOOOOP"
hope this was helpful...
Thanks for the reply, but I was trying to figure out why the Americans don't have the orange/yellowish winkers in the back of the car. You say that they used to have them, so I wonder why the don't have them anymore.

I think he was referring to the turning rules (when to signal when you turn and so on).
Anyhow, I still don't know why the american cars have different winkers on the back...
