A high-tech zebra crossing with flashing lights and audio warning(語音提示) was put into use for the first time in Chongqing a few months ago. It can also take pictures of the people who are (1)
breaking
the traffic rules in the area.
At a busy road in front of a gate of Bishan Middle School, the crosswalk is installed (設置) (2)
to keep
( keep) the students safe when they cross the road (3)
after
school.
The zebra crossing area has light strips. When people cross the street, they flash to "tell" (4)
drivers
(drive) to slow down and wait for people to go across the street. At the same time, display screens (5)
on
either side of the crosswalk tell people to only cross the street when the light is green.
Jiang Fei, a traffic (6)
officer
( office) in Bishan, said that the lighting system was very (7)
useful
(use) in the evenings and on rainy and foggy days.
Rong Sheng from the school's safety department said, "In the past, our school safety guards (8)
had
(have) to stand in the middle of the road after school (9)
to stop
(stop) the cars."
Now the students feel (10)
safer
(safe) than before after the installation of the smart crosswalk.
