Wow, the waterfall display is actually being used for something useful somewhere?

 

[IceBone]

I just hope the drainage is done properly and it's not creating a pool of water.

My impression is that the combination of briefly blinding drivers (as you can see in the GIF) and the illusion of a solid object suddenly appearing right in front of you makes this a less-than-ideal solution. On the other hand, you may be able to realise instantly what it is in real life... so has anyone seen this sort of thing in use?

 

[Alasondro Alegré]

Yeah, I sorta feel the same way. Very cool looking, though.

 

[Adunaphel]

Judging from the short sequence in the gif, it looks like this is being uses as a last resort, to stop drivers oblivious to all other signals. In that sense I get the feeling the blinding and it looking like a solid object are entirely intentional and actually contribute to the functioning of the tech.

That waterfall stop sign is awesome.

 

[That American Girl]

That waterfall stop sign is awesome.

That's actually a damn good idea. And pretty effective it seems. Now if we could get something like that for older drivers all driving on the wrong side of the freeways here...

A bus?
