Making dangerous roads safer
#RoadsThatHonk works by alerting speeding drivers to avoid collisions with the help of SmartLife poles that use radar technology across accident prone turns. The poles are installed at key intersections, and use an advanced networked device to combine wireless technology, radar systems, and an anti-collision warning system, all powered by solar PV modules. http://www.thedrum.com/news/2017/04/27/hp-and-leo-burnett-collaborate-anti-collision-tech-roadsthathonk-campaign
