Observation

Waiting to cross the street around Silpakorn University can be a tough and time-consuming activity. The heat, the noise, the vehicles and their exhaust surround you, while you are anxiously standing there on the sidewalk with several other pedestrians, wondering if you are going to make it to the other side. Why not make this an enjoyable and safe experience?
 
Idea
To shorten the waiting time to cross the street and avoid being hit by vehicles, there could be sensors connected to traffic lights that cause the lights for pedestrians to turn green, when there is a large enough number of people waiting. The sensors would be powered by solar cell panels and be activated when the crowd is performing a tap dance or do a stationary run to create movement. This could really encourage more conversation among pedestrians as well as a kind of physical exercise.
