Say what you will about the brutalist architecture <insert commieblock joke here>, but the eastern block also had some pretty interesting bits of, well now retro, futurist design in their public works.
How did that work? Did he manually operate traffic lights or something?
He would frown at you if you swerved out of your lane.
I don’t know, but a lot of east bloc had a quite high surveillance. There were often a zero tolerance for drinking, speeding… and they had people oversee main roads.
But as I said, no idea what that dude is supposed to do!
Zero tolerance for drunk driving? Crazy that one didn’t have enough social inertia to stick around after the collapse. Then again, given the conditions in the 90s, maybe the chance to get home faster vs potentially die, taking random people with you looks like a win-win.
I would just sit up there making vroom noises all day.
