So lit... but these new traffic lights are at high risk of being stolen
Interesting new traffic lights have South Africans in awe...
Just when you thought Cape Town couldn't one up KZN anymore, they got new traffic lights (robots).
The new signals are specifically designed for the city’s public transport system and aim to end confusion among motorists at these intersections.
See how the road gets painted in the road signal below:

The question on Stacey's mind is: "What about the traffic light syndicates?"
As we are all aware, stealing and vandalisation of public property is a huge issue around the country.
There is no doubt in our mind that these gorgeous robots will sadly fall prey to a traffic light syndicate at some point or the other.

BusinessTech reports: "If successful, these signals will be implemented across the MyCiTi system and be included in the South African Road Traffic Signs Manual for use by other cities and transport systems in South Africa."
“The road safety of all road users is of great priority to the city, so my hope is that this new traffic signal system will cause less confusion and incidents among motorists in the area,” said Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis.
