Crazy how nature do that.
ChronicBoredom
What places in the world has these??
RediBello
We also have these in Albania
yrul
Isn't like the whole point so people in the other lane can't see your light and fuck everything up?

Well, no excuse now!

Anyone else find it really difficult to see the overhead lights when you're at the front of the line? I'm blaming height.

Red/green color blindness still a problem.

For a minute there I thought it was a long exposure shot

I see the future.

This is cool but ya know whats better? Drivers learning when to use their indicators.

Great idea. Adds colour to the city and helps drivers. Bonus!
Dapsters
The green should creep up the pole as the light gets closer to switching to green, and vice versa
ItsTime4it
No Yellow ?
WithaChainedHorseDick
Holy expensive...........but they would be so cool
stupidgeniuscom
Nearly every country I've visited has better traffic lights than the US. "America is not the greatest country in the world anymore."
iwantPieCreator
Is it “the America” also?
LaserTaser
I wonder what the manufacturers bribe was to get the local government to buy these lamps. It's Ukraine after all.
stukajr
Yes, given their priorities...
SpammersAreScum
I saw them somewhere other than Ukraine, but I can't remember where. Probably in the Balkans? It's not like the whole pole lights up, 1/2
SpammersAreScum
so cross traffic doesn't get confused.

Youcameheretokillmequestionmark
Hey that's pretty cool.

After watching enough videos of eastern european drivers on Youtube...I think they are not there because they are cool.

Do you want more fast and he furious movies? Because that’s how you get more fast and the furious movies

I don’t care about your spelling mistake because I’m above petty things like that. +1

I'm glad the lights are working and yet no heat in the Universities, so they close the schools down till Spring.

It's Ukraine, not the Ukraine. One's a country, the other was a Soviet state.
Jaanzi
...so are ya Chinese or Japanese?
ForgotMyOtherAcct
I thought it was the other way round. Never been.
esmarelda
Thanks! Never knew there was a difference.

Thanks!

Eh, just wait a few years then.

The United States of America is also a Soviet state.

UK rain eh? So a Canadian talking about rain in the UK got it.
Promethianfire
Also, in Ukrainian language, there are no articles. (A, an, the).
MetaSomma
I suppose that's the blazen emblem of to whichever version you are referring
ThermoNuke
Saying “In Ukraine” just doesn’t sound right to me

I had to read this 5 times before I understood the difference

The Ukraine is weak

I come from Ukraine. You not say Ukraine weak !
DildoNecklaceDesk
The Ukraine is weak.
ChesterChihuahua
Yeah, well, we're playing a game here, pal.
GodDamnedImmigrant
Never seen people more worried about grammar around their country name than Ukrainians (hope I spell it correctly, sorry if not)
CardinalCanuck
No other country is reduced by language either. The more you say it's less than a country, the more people will accept it and let it betaken
GodDamnedImmigrant
As Belarusian, it's my honor to say that my samogonka is stronger than yours, salo is tastier, and my bulba is superior to any other bulba.\
GodDamnedImmigrant
\ And I can claim it regardless to the country of your origin, no matter how do you prefer to spell it.
Crawmak
Didn't know that. Wonder why it was ever prefixed in the first place.
Schadenfreuda
Under the Tsars and the Bolsheviks, the Ukraine was a physiographic division of Russia, not a nation as now
RPhoenix
Because communism.
Lulumegan
So, THE Ohio State University is a bunch of commies?
VirtualNaut
I read this as "Because the communism"
wandergeist
Because one meaning of Ukraine is border, so for the Russians it wasn't a place in itself but just the border between them and the rest.
destinychopsticks
Only 7 points for the accurate, complete answer? Sacrilege.
scottheduck
Back in the USSR days, the Ukraine was considered nothing more than a region of Russia.
encyclopediabritannica
scottheduck
Nowadays, that mentality is still pretty common in Russia, especially around Putin’s circle, and explains their behavior towards Ukraine.
DickPicEnthusiast
I'm sure the possibility of Ukraine joining NATO mattered a bit more than your run-of-the-mill pan-slavism.
DickPicEnthusiast
The USSR tried very hard to eradicate their language and national identity (not to mention actual Ucranians, like Stalin did)
Neogreenyew
I guarantee that would fuck with cross traffic when the lights are changing
spartantalk
Also doesn't make a difference for the colour-blind
CyberAkuma
Exactly what I was thinking. I have seen normal lights with angled blinders for intersections that aren't 90-degree angles, much less this.
fitgirl1
Not if they are shielded. You'd have to see it in person I think.
SaucyDisses
I bet I’d look pretty in the fog!

We could use these in America.

Let's be real, drivers here are beyond saving at this point

There's so many things that are put in place to help, and people still manage to fuck it up haha

We could use roundabouts in America.
Bulldozer2017
Which America
IThinkYouGotAFineBrainJack
America, Guangzhou.
biggwhytey
The only one typically refered to as "America" by English-speakers...
sychonaut
In America we could use a light that texts you when it's green
nobodylikesmyname
A car with a camera that detects what the signal is at for your lane. Sends it to your phone screen as a notification when it's green.
nobodylikesmyname
this replaces the current version of someone honking at you when its green
auserwithaname
That's terrible but true. Please don't text and drive, even at red lights. It just makes it too easy to check. Put it away.

Blinkers too

I don't want this, it's confusing as hell. What light goes to which lane, also this would be too visible from the other direction.
