In Zhodino six such units. The very first it appeared a year ago in the street 40 years of October in the unregulated pedestrian crossing. The object was a pilot, was very well tested and proven effective in road safety. If previously there quite often had accidents involving pedestrians, but now - no.

Once a person comes to "zebra", they immediately triggered and transmit a signal to the lights. As a result, they begin to flash, further drawing the attention of drivers, - says head of department of GAI Zhodino municipal police department Police Major Alexander Vishnevsky. - When a person completes the transition roadway lights stop blinking. Thus, in the dark for pedestrians across the road becomes safer.

If their performance is confirmed and the accident rate on these road sections will decrease significantly, then a similar experience in the future will be distributed throughout the Minsk region, - reported in the management of traffic police Internal Affairs of Minsk City Executive.
