The additional commissioner also explained the functioning of the LED strip lights at major signals. He said, "When the red light is seen on the signals, the commuters become conscious and try not to cross at that time. At the same time, these lights will also help pedestrians to cross the roads because at many junctions we can see the commuters occupy the zebra crossing."
