An unusual object has appeared in Gomel.
We are talking about a projected pedestrian crossing.
The non-standard innovation in the city is reported on the website of the Gomel Regional Executive Committee Department of Internal Affairs.
How does a projection pedestrian crossing “work”?
Special equipment was installed above the unregulated pedestrian crossing on Vladimirova Street in Gomel.
After dark, the lighting above the roadway section is turned on.
White and yellow markings are projected onto the road surface.
In addition, a projected road sign "Pedestrian crossing" appears on the surface.
In other words, the use of projectors makes it possible to mark a pedestrian crossing with light elements rather than the usual markings or signs.
It is emphasized that such an innovation attracts motorists and pedestrians and makes them more attentive.
The projection pedestrian crossing has two advantages over the usual one.
Firstly, the backlight is not afraid of wear. Secondly, such a transition is very clearly visible in various conditions.
