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)

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.

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!)
