Tue, Mar 13, 2012 AsiaOne BEIJING - A series of plastic signs have been spotted on Chinese highways, according to Chinese media reports. The signs, erected by the Chinese traffic police, include LED displays with messages that read "currently measuring speed" and "don't speed", look very similar to the rear of police vehicles. Some of the signs were also fitted with red and blue flashing lights. The simulations of traffic police vehicles fool motorists into slowing down. According to a report on Shanghaiist, 10 of the signs have been introduced in Henan. They are mostly placed near road construction areas and dangerous sections of the highway. The report said effectiveness is higher in the evenings perhaps due to the lower visibility and therefore, an increased chance of mistaking them for the real deal. These signs are green too. The report said they are being powered by solar energy in order to ensure constant highway vigilance. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
