Camel Traffic Signals in China

R. Nicholas Burns, the current US ambassador to China, shares these photos of a traffic signal in the Gobi Desert. CNN reports that government officials in Gansu province installed them three years ago to make it clear when camels should and should not cross the road.

They're unusual and have thus become a popular destination for tourists, who take advantage of the large camelid population to hire rides. Keeping those tourists safe from camel collisions is a priority for the government, hence the traffic signals.
