|  Crafty traffic lights
Did you know the lights have little cameras on them. But they work in a way I didn't realise.
They look at your eyes. You stare at them when you first get stopped by them. Then you start glancing away a bit with the occasional furtive glance back. Finally when the lights are happy you've given up waiting, have drifted off or are distracted by something they suddenly change.
Go on then, tell me I'm wrong? I bet this happens to you all the time.

Retinal observation through a sheet of laminated glass. Very impressive. I never knew this was feasible.
The lights can even determine what you're thinking?  | |
