HYPER LOCAL NAGOYA
Nagoya’s Osu district is an absolute riot, and the four-sided traffic signal that looks like a hovering UFO only adds to the wackiness. For the enthusiasts out there, this traffic signal is a true gem that really gets the heart racing! It’s officially called a “suspended-type traffic signal,” but let’s be real, it looks like it belongs in an episode of The X-Files.
*Please note that the opinions expressed in this article are solely our own!
It’s an exquisitely uncommon traffic signal that seems to go unnoticed by everyone.
It’s designed to be hung from an arm extending from a single pole, which means it can be installed even in tight spaces. It was first installed in 1975 and has since been updated to an LED model!
Osu has been a bustling merchant district since the Edo period. And now, it’s got a unique traffic signal to boot! It’s just one more thing to make you say, “What the heck?!” Pedestrians and drivers need to be careful not to get too distracted by this strange signal, though.
But here’s a word of caution: this funky traffic signal can be a real head-turner, so keep your eyes peeled and watch out for oncoming cars. And if you’re thinking of taking a selfie, please, please, please don’t do it in the middle of the road. We don’t want to be responsible for any traffic incidents!
In short, if you’re looking for a unique and downright bizarre experience in Nagoya, Osu is the place to be. Don’t miss out on the chance to see this otherworldly traffic signal and everything else that makes this district so darn cool.
