Different colored laser lights flash while driving on the highway. These are the scenes from a video that went viral on social media the other day. Many people came to the social media asking where this place is and why the lasers are installed. Finally, all these questions are answered.
Safety is the main thing
With the aim of increasing road safety, the Chinese government has installed lasers on the highways. It is estimated that drivers can be prevented from falling asleep while driving. The new procedure utilizes state-of-the-art laser technology. Flashing laser lights of various colors are placed next to the sign boards across the road.
The video went viral
Lasers installed on highways are seen in the video released by X. It is mentioned below the video that these are the scenes captured from the Qingdao-Yinchuan Expressway. These lights are believed to help drivers avoid falling asleep and reduce the risk of road accidents. It is also estimated that this call to attention is a good way to solve the problem of falling asleep while driving a vehicle called highway hysnosis.
Is this method scientific?
But there are those who question the scientificity of it. While many consider it a great idea, others have come out against it. There are those who believe that this actually distracts drivers from the road, and that the glare blurs vision. Some noted on X that even sleep-deprived people could become distracted and crash cars.
