Pigeon traffic camera perfect for Chicago?

Leave a Comment

The website Atohms offers up a prototype of a traffic camera sure to fool motorists — it’s disguised as a pigeon.

Writes the poster:

A speeding driver will not pay attention to the silhouette of a simple bird. Thus it’ll safeguard the camera from detection and possible vandalism. A funny side effect would be that drivers who are aware of these camera’s will slow down whenever they see a bird on a wire.

Here’s a quick photo from Atohms.
