A suburb of Montreal, Canada, is hosting an experimental traffic light that only turns green for the good drivers who keep their speed to the limit.
In case you missed it: Quebec is the first place in Canada to test-run the traffic light.
Engineers placed FRED near a school zone in Brossard that was plagued with throttle-happy Quebec drivers.
The FRED light in Brossard is being tried out for a 90-day trial period on Rue Stravinski, a two-lane street that runs through a suburban residential area.
Before the light was installed, Mayor Assaad said that Rue Stravinski had average vehicle speeds of 40 km/h (25 mph).
