At three gates through the village of Sjørring in Thy, three screens are mounted, which show either a star or a banana peel, depending on whether you drive correctly or too fast. The trip through the city has been transformed into a ‘one-armed bandit’, where you can achieve three stars if you comply with the speed limit.
The project is followed by a research team at Aalborg University, which collects data on the impact of the work on traffic safety in the village.
