Elderly Citizens in Singapore Swipe Their ID to Get More Time at the Crosswalk

So apparently, there's this card you can acquire in Singapore that you swipe at pedestrian traffic lights across the city to gain more time for walking across the street. Not only is this generally a cool idea, but it's also a lifesaver for those who need more time to cross the road, such as the elderly. We're sure this neat feature has saved many people a lot of stress.

In many places, pedestrian traffic lights don't provide enough time for people with trouble walking to make it across. This idea solves that problem and keeps everything running smoothly.
