Smart, the company behind the original smart car, has devised a clever way to help pedestrians wait for the walk signal and keep the streets safer — a dancing traffic light. By projecting real movements from people nearby, the dancing traffic light entertains people at the intersection until it’s a safe time to cross the street. The company built the signal at an intersection in Lisbon, Portugal, earlier this summer. (Source: Mashable)

absolutely brilliant and i would not be able to resist dancing while watching and waiting. good for people on so many levels. even if it’s just causing them to smile.
I could so see you leading the pack here Beth… 🙂
Brilliant and Smart!!
It is. And FUN.
I bet that some people can’t resist doing bizarre things nearby just to see what the red light man does!
No doubt about it!

Best idea ever!!!
Yes!
I put this in the category of, “Why didn’t anyone think of this before, but I am sure glad they finally did!” Thank you, David, and T.G.I.F.!!! Cher xo

This is a fun post with a practical message. I used a case study of an English town, Portishead, which eliminated traffic lights and accidents decreased. That may not always be possible and, when it is not, fun alternatives are available.
Thanks for sharing Ivon. Not sure that I’d want to drive in NYC without traffic lights but it would be an interesting experiment.
I think there are places that it would be a challenge. I did watch a video of traffic in Saigon without lights and it was easy to spot the outsiders. The people who lived there were comfortable with the flow and seemed to have a sense of what was happening.
Love it… 🙂
I saw this yesterday and loved it!! I love the savvy insight to human nature and the totally innovative approach to our bad behaviors. We need more people like this in our world 🙂 (and yes, I would totally dance, even though I really don’t have any moves!)
Smart idea by Smart Car. Genius. All of it Bonnie. I agree.
Brilliant, just brilliant
It is David.
Mm…different! 🙂
BEYOND clever! I want to go and stand at the light!! “You be shakin’ your head while I’m shakin’ my #@!%” Happy Friday!! 🙂
Oh, I’d be shakin’ my head…oh, yes I would.
This is, btw, a line from the song they’re playing, not me get tin’ all fresh. Realized after reading that it might not have translated… :-/
Laughing. Come to think of it, it was “fresh” for you. 🙂
I know, right? I do *try* to behave…
How clever! and so very very much fun.
It is! I agree…
This is very cool
It is Tina. I was hooked from the word go.
Okay, that was SO much fun:) A wonderful idea that needs to be implemented.
It is. It does. Worldwide.
cool, very cool.
It is Vicki. Brilliant idea and execution. Happy video.
haha that’s so cool!
It is!
I loved it so much, this is so creative and I am sure it works… Thank you dear David, love, nia
This was wonderful Nia. Thanks.
All those people’s faces suddenly light up. I want to introduce this to the Netherlands too! 😀
