Animated “walk-don’t-walk” man on Taiwan’s traffic lights:
Mark Frauenfelder:
The little “walk-don’t-walk” man on Taiwan’s traffic lights appears in a grid of green LEDS. As the countdown timer ticks down to zero, the little man “walks faster and faster and breaks into a trot in the last seconds.”

Pretty much a more advanced version of the former East Germany’s Ampelmännchen - what cool little dudes.

I like that idea. However, I don’t see it making old people with sticks move faster. What a shame…

Christine does not have astick but she is over 55 - the way the world works that means she gets around. She is just back from Taiwan and confirms that these lights were common and - she thought - very useful.

Most important concern for me from this, is that there are traffic lights in the world more advanced that I am. Sigh…
