Dutch town offers 'Lightlines' to protect pedestrians

The LED-traffic lights in the Dutch city of Bodegraven to protect pedestrians.

Municipal officials in the Dutch city of Bodegraven have come up with a clever idea to improve the safety of pedestrians, specially smartphone zombies!

A special lighting system has been installed to prevent traffic accidents involving pedestrians using their smartphones.

The LED-lit strips are directly embedded on the pavement to signal to people looking down on their phones that it is safe to cross.

The lights are synchronized with traffic lights.

Researchers believe smartphones are a leading cause of traffic accidents among youth.
