An intelligent system that punishes jaywalkers by spraying water at them is being trialed at a crossing in the city of Daye in central China's Hubei Province, reports Beijing News.


The trial system monitors traffic in real time, and squirts water at pedestrians 1 who attempts to run a red light. Warnings in the form of sounds and flashing lights will also be used to remind pedestrians not to cross the street against a red light.


As well as getting a little spray of water, jaywalkers will be photographed and their picture displayed on nearby screens. Their picture will also be uploaded into a government database, and repeat offenders 2 might find that they've lost points in China's developing social credit system.


It took two months for public security authorities in Daye and a local company to develop the system, which comes at a cost of over 1.3 million yuan.


Some netizens have expressed concerns that spraying people with water might give them a bad cold or damage their clothes. But local police have dismissed these concerns, saying "The device sprays clean running water with a constant temperature of 26 degrees Celsius 3. The amount of water used has been tested; it doesn't cause problems by wetting clothes," said a local police officer.


According to Chang Sha, a lawyer in Beijing, the trial is an innovation in traffic management, but might be an inconvenience for pedestrians. 


"Fighting against red light running is about good public behavior, rather than a road safety problem. Using a water spray is not enough to solve it; a long time is required for an improvement," the lawyer told Beijing News.
