High-tech system exposes jaywalkers who ignore red light

Pedestrians who cross the road when the light is red now risk the embarrassment of having their pictures displayed publicly on a screen.

A high-tech system with two digital cameras that capture images of pedestrians who ignore the red light and displays them on a screen has been introduced in Shijiazhuang, the capital of Hebei province.

The 30-cm-by-20-cm screen is located next to the crossing, and the system has been installed at two major intersections by the city's traffic authority.
