Dynamic Traffic Display Board

From the display board, drivers can clearly see the traffic condition of the ways ahead and choose one of the three channels to go to Pudong - the tunnel, the Nanpu Bridge and the Lupu Bridge. The green lines mean normal traffic. Sometimes, it is red, meaning the traffic is high on that road. It also gives drivers estimation to the Bund.

I think this is very cool.

I also see the plant pots attached to the side of the road. Do you know what purpose these serve exactly? They seem too small to absorb pollution or sound is it just a visual thing?

Maybe it is for absorbing noise.
