A new smart device has been developed in conjunction with Glasgow City Council to allow a local bike bus team to control the traffic lights at a busy junction in order for children to pass through it safely.
The device, created by Sm@rt Technologies Ltd, allows the lead bike in the group to stop the traffic for a period of 45 seconds so that the whole group can get through the busy section together.
The Shawlands Bike Bus group have called it a “game changer” and several other similar organisations have expressed an interest in getting some sort of tech like this for themselves after seeing it in action on Twitter.
