AI cams to help clear zebra crossings

Waiting their turn: Motorists must stop vehicles before the zebra crossing at the Arun Amarin intersection.

As soon as a vehicle stops at the traffic lights at Wong Sawang intersection, a loud alarm goes off, followed by a pre-recorded announcement in Thai, saying "Please don't obstruct the zebra crossing. Thank you."

The alarm and announcement will keep playing, until all motorists who are waiting for the red line to turn green move their vehicles from the pedestrian crossing.
