Electronic stoplight in Santiago

[NewsWhore]

The city of Santiago has recently installed an electronic stoplight on the intersection between the Republica de Argentina and Estrella Sadhala streets. The Chinese-made electric stoplights, the first in the country, will be used during a 90-day trial period, after which members of the municipal authorities will evaluate their usefulness. One of the benefits of the more modern stoplight is its lower electricity consumption. It also allows the driver to time the change of a light from one color to another. Pedro Seijo Morales, from the company Gran Kaiman Teleco SA, added that there are over a million of these machines in China, and that they are also in use in the Cuban capital Havana.
