A video released on social media X (formerly Twitter), showcases a sign gantry on a Chinese highway projecting a light show to help drivers from combating nighttime fatigue.

The video shows the laser light show rotating between red, blue & green lights, but doesn't strobe or aim at vehicles. The main aim of the bright colours is to keep drivers awake and alert on long, boring highways at night. While it is a unique way to keep drivers awake, it could also be a cause of distraction on its own.

However, highway authorities making efforts to keep drivers awake at night isn't new. An Australian highway has roadside trivia signs to keep drivers mentally engaged.

In a follow-up to the video, the X user explained: "A video captured on the Qingdao–Yinchuan Expressway displays vibrant laser lights hovering above the vehicles. Mr. Li, the person behind the camera, reported that these laser lights designed to combat fatigue quickly revitalized him and reduced his exhaustion during a prolonged nighttime."

Highway side EDM parties in the middle of no where can be a thing now. Looks pretty epic.

Not going to lie. I'd probably be so engrossed with the laser lights thingy that I'd bump into the vehicle in front of me. Or at the very least, miss my exit from the highway.

If this thing works, every car should have a laser light assembly installed.

Recollecting 'cut-outs' of policeman stuck on our highways. They seem a better approach to alert the driver.

This would be fatal to people with photosensitive epilepsy. Only hope is that chances of such people behind the wheels would be almost none, provided the condition is detected.
