China's latest 'jaywalker catcher' punishes unruly pedestrians by spraying them with water at crossings

最新的“乱穿马路的捕手”，行人街头闯红灯遭“水喷”

China has installed a new system that will spray water to stop people from jaywalking in the city.

The yellow bollards, fitted with facial recognition technology, were set up at two sides of the crossings that could spray water whenever detected any person walking past the posts.

The technology is the latest technology invested in a bid to catch pedestrians crossing red lights.

Video emerged online showing four yellow bollards, measuring 1.6 foot tall, set up at the pavement in Daye of Hubei Province.

Connected to the traffic system, the bollards can remind the pedestrians when the lights are changing.

近日，湖北大冶市在市区一个路口处设立了 “喷水”装置。红灯亮起时，如果有行人越过路口和斑马线的交界处时，装置会喷出一道水雾，并语音提示行人不要通行。

To make this system even more effective in during jaywalkers of their stupidity, they should incorporate a fluorescent dye into the water, the effects of which last for 72 hours

在水里加入一些染料，效果会更好。

Ah, that's just a gentle misting. They need to use a super soaker.

棒棒哒。不过我觉得电击的效果会更好，闯红灯者很快会老实的

I like the concept of detering stupid people but that is a waste of good water and water is becoming a scarcer and scarcer commodity.

惩罚闯红灯者的想法是好的，就是太浪费水了。

水资源如今越来越稀缺了

I suspect this was designed to stop the people with their eyes glued to their phone from walking in front of traffic.

其实，这样做是为了提醒那些眼睛一直盯着手机，不知道红灯亮起还往前走的行人吧。
