If these can save electricity and are cheaper than regular traffic lights, then I hope they gain widespread usage.
How about a crossing guard made of lasers? That would be pretty cool.
If they ever set this up and some drivers didn’t know about it, I’d imagine it might scare the living daylights out of them.
