New Zealand Creates Safety Billboard That Bleeds When It Rains

Posted by samzenpus on from the when-it-rains-it-gores dept.

Officials in Papakura, New Zealand have come up with a billboard that bleeds when it rains. They hope it will encourage drivers to slow down when the weather makes conditions dangerous. Since the billboards have been erected, there hasn't been a fatal accident in the area.

    Put an electronic headline news billboard up. Then when it rains, put a fake headline like "Be on the look out for a nude 20 year old girl on Highway 3" I assure you, all the men will slow down and be on the look out for her.

    After watching the video, the real cause of accidents is clear: they drive on the wrong side of the road!
