China installs highway lasers to prevent drowsy driving: Video
Authorities in eastern China have introduced coloured laser lights along a highway near Jinan as a new measure to reduce accidents caused by driver fatigue.
Footage shows bright beams stretching across the road at night, designed to keep motorists alert during long journeys. Drivers say the lights help them stay awake, though experts note there is limited data on their effectiveness. While the initiative is part of broader efforts to improve road safety, some warn that strong visual effects could also become a distraction.
