Germany is testing a digital system at traffic lights.

Germany has launched a new project to encourage cycling in urban transportation and improve traffic safety. A smart traffic light system called "VeloFlow" has begun testing in certain areas. The most striking aspect of the new system is that the signals adapt to cyclists' movements. This will allow cyclists to avoid the long waits they typically experience at traditional traffic lights and experience a smoother ride.

Digital displays will be installed at some intersections that measure cyclists' speeds and predict light conditions. These displays will indicate whether a cyclist traveling at 20 km/h will reach the next light on a green or red light, allowing cyclists to make safer decisions.

NEW RULES ARE COMING FOR EVERYONE

The system doesn't just focus on cyclists. In areas where the system is being implemented, traffic light regulations for pedestrians and motorists have also changed. Authorities are reminding drivers and pedestrians of the need to adapt to the new signal layout and urging them to exercise caution.

GOAL: SAFE TRANSPORTATION

German officials say this technological innovation will both improve urban traffic safety and make cycling more attractive for daily commuting. They emphasize that "VeloFlow" is a significant step forward in environmentally friendly transportation solutions.
