Cardboard Cop Car.


New Zealand has a witty and brilliant idea to slow down traffic efficiently. A cardboard cutout police car is slowing traffic at Nelson roadworks sites in an initiative that roading contractor Fulton Hogan hopes to push nationwide.

The cardboard cut out of a traffic police is used at Hira on and there was no doubt that it was more effective than speed restriction signs. It also reduced the number of cars travelling at over 60kmh from 21 out of 50 to five out of 50 and the average speed dropped 15kmh.

Interesting right?
