A sensor in the traffic light can sence the body heat of the people waiting to cross the road. The more poeople waiting the quicker the lights change.-- gizmo, Apr 01 2003 gizmo!
<hug> go back and correct that spelling now !-- po, Apr 01 2003 hello po - how are you?-- gizmo, Apr 01 2003 [gizmo] old bean! Long time, no post.-- phoenix, Apr 01 2003 Hi Phoenix. The lights should also be able to sensor if you are blind with a guide dog. The dog could have a beeper on it's coller.-- gizmo, Apr 01 2003 Nice one, gizmo - about time our cities favoured pedestrians over vehicles.-- lostdog, Apr 01 2003 are dogs hotter than us teletub..., I mean people? if so, do the guide dogs count as two or because they are littler? 1/2?
fine, just fine-- po, Apr 01 2003 well, although I do say so myself, I am pretty hot.
Although, in my case, a guide dog obviously wouldn't go amiss...
But, as Giz says, a chip in the collar of the guide dog would ensure that its owner gets preferential treatment anyway.-- lostdog, Apr 01 2003 pretty hot? or just promises, promises?-- po, Apr 01 2003 We are not worthy...
Are you really back for a while, or is it some cruel april fool's trick?-- yamahito, Apr 01 2003 Howdy giz. This could also be done for summoning an elevator.-- FarmerJohn, Apr 02 2003 hi-- bristolz, Apr 02 2003 Hi, [gizmo]. How's your mum?-- angel, Apr 02 2003 good PS I know the title has nothing to do with the idea-- gizmo, Apr 02 2003 I was wondering about that...-- st3f, Apr 02 2003 hello giz, i'm guessing from the reaction that you were an old favorite? anyway, i like this...the buttons they put at some crosswalks for this purpose are probably intended to be a cruel joke.-- igirl, Apr 02 2003 This is a bad idea. It means that pedestrians will have to travel in large groups to be able to cross the street. What it really means is that many of these people will begin using cars again.-- Madcat, Apr 02 2003 but if nobody crossed the road the lights would spend most of their time on green-- gizmo, Apr 03 2003 random, halfbakery
