In the Netherlands there were traffic lights for dependent smartphones

In the Dutch town of Bodegraven has a very curious light, designed for those who never could part with their smartphone.



Many owners of "smart" tubes are so attached to their vehicles, which is not detached from them, even crossing the road. Such users often provoke a variety of awkward situations, and often a traffic accident.

Tested system in the Netherlands, called Plus Lightlines. The idea is quite simple: the sidewalk near the edge of the roadway embedded led strip, synchronized with traditional traffic lights. It lights the red or green light, and such strip is visible in both dark and in the daytime.



The authors of the project believe that this ground signal can't even man, very keen on what is happening on the screen of your smartphone. Until the new system is tested only on one busy intersection in Bodegraven, which is located near several academic institutions. In the future, the system Plus Lightlines can be implemented on other streets.



It should be noted that a similar solution is already being tested in Augsburg (Germany). While South Korea is introducing road signs for dependent smartphones. published
