There are two new mobile traffic safety devices that will be used to detect distracted driving and flash a warning to drivers in D.C. The devices consist of electronic signs mounted on small trailers and equipped with laser scanners capable of discerning whether a cellphone is in the hand of a driver and whether a driver’s eyes are fixed on the road ahead. The devices are similar to electronic sign boards that detect a vehicle’s speed and flash a warning message to the driver to slow down.
