Innovative Camel Traffic Lights Debut in China
This system was introduced to alleviate traffic chaos at the intersection between the wooden pedestrian path for tourists and the camel route. Local authorities affirm that this is the world's inaugural traffic light system tailored for camels.
To install the lights, the construction team cut a section of the wooden path for tourists and created a separate pathway for camels. Traffic signal lights regulate traffic flow at the new junction.
