   You can’t project lasers onto nothing, but you can use clouds or mist like this idea https://ideamill.info/waterfall-road-signs/

   This interesting idea has been implemented in Sydney to stop road accidents. Suggested by Tom Scott of YouTube fame.

   We should have these crossing laser walls on the end of groins and piers in Brighton, and the gay lights they have in Madrid.

   The UK has a cheaper solution, ain’t seen one of these but there was one in London.

   The optical illusion, which creates a floating effect, has been tried out in a few other countries.

   Would be good if they played a sound while you crossed too!

   Think its just a concept/idea rather than a thing. Though not sure. It says in the Wired article that it could project silhouettes of the pedestrians behind it, so the motorists are aware that there are lives behind the barrier, that don’t want to be extinguished. Would this type of thing help though? Motorists that ignore lights are just as likely to ignore laser lights too right?

   Laser Wall Replaces Traffic Light

   Laser experts, we need to know something: Would this work? The Virtual Wall is designed as a replacement for traffic lights and if made would use “plasma laser beams” to project silhouettes of moving people into the path of oncoming traffic. Supposedly this would calm traffic and make drivers mo... Read more

   Wow, I found this from a Google reverse image search. It’s a “virtual wall” and looks like they made it over a decade ago, why aren’t they all over the place already?

   The Virtual Wall provides a barrier made up of plasma laser beams depicting pedestrians doing what they do best and any car that crosses that barrier suffers the consequences. Okay so maybe those lasers aren’t powerful enough to do any harm but the effect is enough to make drivers and pedestrians ... Read more
