On the evening of September 8, the Guangzhou Transportation Bureau announced the official opening of the "Smart Zebra Crossing" at the intersection of Tianhe North Road and Tiyudong Road.

The "Smart Zebra Crossing" is organized and implemented by the City Transportation Bureau.

　　The "Smart Zebra Crossing" implemented this time mainly uses solar road studs and underground pedestrian crossing signal lights, both of which are designed for durability, and have undergone many in-plant and field tests by the construction unit.

　　Solar road studs use flexible solar film for light collection and electricity storage, to avoid the phenomenon that traditional silicon film is easily damaged by pressure during use. GPS technology is used for synchronous flashing control. The visible distance is greater than 500 meters, and the compressive strength is 40. More than tons; the buried crosswalk signal light is designed with high-strength compression and earthquake resistance, and has undergone various performance tests such as low temperature, high temperature, and salt spray, and can fully withstand the daily rolling and trampling of vehicles and pedestrians.

　　After the implementation of the "Smart Zebra Crossing", after two nights of trial operation, relevant research institutions tracked its implementation effects.

The results show that this measure has an obvious two-way warning effect on pedestrians and passing vehicles on the crosswalk at night, and achieved the expected implementation effect. It is specifically embodied in: First, through color change and flashing, the early warning function is significant, reminding pedestrians crossing the street, especially the "low-headed people" "The traffic time and traffic area of ​​crossing the street, red light running, waiting in violation of regulations and other illegal traffic behaviors caused by looking down at the mobile phone are significantly reduced compared to before implementation; second, solar road studs can clearly remind motor vehicle drivers to be polite and slow down. Reduce cross-street conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians, and improve traffic safety at intersections.
