Queensland roads are set for an upgrade as pedestrian crossings with special sensors are set to be rolled out across the state.
Compared with normal pedestrian crossings, which use a timer, the smart crossings use sensors to detect the movement of walkers and adjust the amount of time required to cross.
After trials in Logan, the Gold Coast and Bundaberg, the state government will roll out the $3 million smart pedestrian crossing technology over the next two years at up to 300 crossings.
