For the sake of everyone's safety, Australian government is really painstaking!
On the horse, Adelaide will try the ground traffic lights to remind all Phubber to pay attention to safety! I have to say that the Australian government operation is really sweet!
Everything for Phubber.
Many new friends in Australia do not know that crossing the road in Australia to run a red light is actually illegal, if caught by the police uncle, they will not hesitate to fine!
However, a lot of people are very aggrieved ah! I didn't mean to. I didn't pay attention to my phone! Phubber, your gospel is here!
In the past two years, pedestrian casualties have occurred frequently in many areas, with the number of pedestrian accidents rising or even 49 percent higher than in the same period, most of which were caused by pedestrians looking down at their mobile phones, Daily Mail reported.
In order to protect Phubber's safety as much as possible, Adelaide may soon try to install ground traffic lights at intersections.
At present, the proposal is moving forward very smoothly, Adelaide parliament and South Australia government agree that it is very feasible to try out ground traffic lights to ensure the safety of Phubber pedestrians.
The committee will also vote tomorrow night on whether the lamp should be tested in the city.
Cr Rob Simms, who introduced the proposal, said, "because of the continuous development of mobile phones, this technology is necessary. With the development of technology and the wonderful diversification of mobile phone applications, it is becoming more and more distracting from pedestrians, and we can hardly see pedestrians who concentrate on walking now."
This is obviously very dangerous and we must do everything we can to improve security. "
The budget is too high.
In fact, this is not the first time Australia has introduced ground traffic lights, and as early as 2016, it was reported that such lights would be installed in five locations in downtown Sydney.
Duncan Guy, director of the New South Wales Road Safety Department at the time, said government had decided to invest A $250000 (1.2 million yuan) in piloting ground traffic lights in the hope of effectively reducing pedestrian road safety accidents.
However, because the installation cost of ground traffic lights is too high, government believes that if traditional methods such as adding marking lights can achieve the same effect but are more cost-effective, it is decided not to introduce the technology permanently.
Four sets of ground lights are also installed in the corners of Melbourne's Swanston and Little Collins streets at a cost of about A $120000. But it has not continued to popularize.
In this regard, Sydney and Melbourne have hit the south wall has turned back, I do not know whether Adelaide can popularize the ground traffic lights;
If the proposal is passed today, then the discussion of Adelaide City will continue in 2020.
epilogue
News thinks the ground traffic lights really help strengthen the reminder to Phubber, after all, the rest of the light can see the lights on the ground while looking at the mobile phone. It's worth spending a little more money!
