At the end of 2020 year, the Austrian city of Vienna rolled-out its smart traffic lights system. These are so innovative devices that are equipped with an in-built camera what ca­pable of detecting people within a field of five metres near the traffic lights. Once they will verify that the pedestrian very wants to cross the street, the signal automatically changes to green without no having to press any buttons.

This solution was realized because not only everyone is prepared to wait and some people just cross the street while the traffic lights are on red. On the other one hand, some people press the buttons just for fun, generating unnecessary retentions and irritating some drivers who have to stop if even when nobody is crossing the street.
