#China launches traffic signal for camels

Lights, camels, action!

Chinese officials have launched what they say is the world’s first traffic light for camels.

The signal came into operation Sunday at the Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring in Dunhuang City, Chinese state media outlet ECNS said Monday.

The area, in the country’s north-central Gansu province, has become increasingly popular with tourists in recent years, according to CNN.

Camel-riding tours especially are a big attraction for visitors — who will now be safe from bumpy travel, thanks to the new traffic light.

The contraption has signals for both tourists and camels, which turn green for go and red for stop.
