A new Swedish safety device can reduce risks for pedestrians and other vulnerable road users. The Amparo SeeMe warning system is said to reduce traffic speeds and raise driver awareness for cyclists or at pedestrian crossings. The system links an automatic radio tag carried by the pedestrian or cyclist to trigger solar-powered lights on bus stops or at crossings, to provide warnings to drivers.
