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.
