Bizarre method Chinese government uses to stop drivers falling asleep on road Chinese road safety authorities have come up with a unique solution to the issue of drivers dozing off at the wheel, but not everyone is convinced.
Originally recorded on October 31 last year, the footage shows red, green and blue laser lights shining repeatedly from the top of a gantry on the 1,600-km-long Qingdao-Yinchuan Expressway, which links the coastal city of Qingdao with Ningxia in north-central China.
They've installed far-reaching flashing light displays known as "high speed anti-fatigue laser lights" on motorways in an attempt to keep drivers awake during night-time journeys.
A video of these lights supposedly in action has recently resurfaced after being shared by a user known as Science Girl on X (formerly Twitter) on November 6.
However, most viewers reacted negatively, suggesting that the laser lights might be too distracting and could potentially put drivers in danger.
