Traffic light for camels debuts in Gansu - (REALLY!)

Traffic light for camels debuts in Gansu
(Ecns.cn) 13:38, April 12, 2021

It is the first traffic light in the world designed especially for camels.

When the traffic signal turns green, camels can cross the road, while tourists cross when the signal turns red, greatly ensuring traffic safety.

...and not getting any replies because all the traffic-light manufacturers thought it was a prank.

"Camel traffic light RFQ again? Yeah, that goes right in the shredder! And tell them to stop messing around!"
