  • These are not regular traffic lights. In this case you are entering a restricted area or a road that will be closed down at certain times.

    It is being used to prevent people -- who do not live in the specific area -- from taking sneak routes in case of traffic jams or to reduce traffic.

    If you don't live there or the road is closed, you don't have access.

    This driver is just nuts and should look at the major warning signs.

  • its definitly not a good idea to drive when the traffic light are red but this traffic light is very stupid and dangerous

  • A wheelie ;)

  • Of course everybody laughs abou this, and yes it is funny!!! But, let's be honest, this is a dangerous situation created by the authorities. When somebody runs the traffic light, he has to get a ticket. It is not needed to also ruin his car. So I think the state should pay this driver for all the damages to his car caused by this ridiculous creation, minus the fee for the ticket.

  • need some of those in the USA. It'll get people to stop running so many red lights.

  • I'd just drive on the grass around it... (middle finger at everybody)

  • @TheTrueJBV3737

    they got AT mine in the grass

  • wonder if you can drive around it on the grass or the other lane.

  • Well, that's one way to step people from running a red light.

  • buy a couple of paint pots nice sticky ones and fill this damn hole in the ground!

  • I LIKE this traffic signal! Obey… or else!

  • Wow. This video is out of context, I could understand this level of security in a military installation but for traffic and speeding? Have people in Europe and the States never heard of something called speed bumps? This thing is like a catapult for cars. Totally unsafe, even a pop-up spike strip would be smarter.

  • @dioioib

    Not everyone is allowed to go trough these lights. It's remote controlled. We use it alot to allow only cabs and busses in certain streets to keep traffic low.

  • what the....?

  • Strange traffic light? You mean strange driver. The guy came later so the light probably didn't detect him so it just went green for a lil moment. Well if it then turns red you just gotta stop, sorry.

  • @DavidSlagter Just a stupid driver. He knows the light only lets cars through one at a time, so if he would have stopped the light would have turned green on him eventually.

  • @pingpongpung Yep.

  • Exactly what how is this a "socialist device"?

    Unless the Dutch don't have cops that are trigger happy freaks.

  • What the hell are these traffic lights used for anyways? Are they just a glorified expensive speed bump?

  • @gcrebel2008 : It is probably ment to reduce speeding and the results of it: it could also be to prevent rat-run traffic, as the gate can only be activated by people who live in the streets nearby.

  • Wat een enorme SUKKEL die bestuurder!! LOL

  • bring this shit to the states lol

  • Excellent! Love it! - but hey, non of us run red lights anyway..

  • The traffic lights aren't strange but the drivers are...

  • What is this?

    Special highway entrance requiring an electronic pass?

    HOV lane?

    Do signs forewarn of the road device?

    Moron driver's fault for not stopping for TWO RED SIGNALS.

    Hope he paid for damage to the device.

  • holy shit lol fuck your car up thats messed up but your right he deservered it for running the red we need those things here in the States lol. Think after how much it will cost to fix your car after that they shouldn't give a ticket for it though, lol lesson learned.

  • Typical socialist government device.

  • Ok.. just look at this way

    If that retractable pole was a pedestrian - tell me.. would you still agree that the driver should be forgiven? He obviously ran thru a redlight and got what he deserved.

    Jeez get some logics in your head and remember what red means.

  • oooooo shit lol

  • Comment removed

  • Deliberately causing a driver to lose control is generally not a good idea. This driver was forced off the road to the right, what if there had been a pedestrian? What if it had lost control and hit an oncoming vehicle? A very bad idea. Just flash them and send them a ticket in the post.

  • How about just don't run a red light? That driver would have hit a pedestrian anyway had there been a crossing there, he'd have run it anyhow. Now maybe he'll THINK ABOUT IT when he actually IS at a pedestrian crossing.

  • What is dangerous is running a red light, not this.

  • what an damn fat wheely xD

  • do yall c the sitting figure rockin in th st???????

  • lol.. orange is stop!

    i hope his car is totalloss!

  • rofl that made my day

  • damn that messed up lol

  • wow thats so weird it makes u go into the air when u run a red light! thats a good idea

  • should do this by every redlight everywhere

  • is't not the best way to tell stupid people(yeah, they also drive cars) DON'T DRIVE TRUE A RED LIGHT.......

    Sometimes only things like this can get people start to think logic

  • i was there and it's superfuntime!

  • @ alwilliam: the thing right before the light on the drivers side isnt a scanner. It's a bord indicating that there is a high piece in the middle, and you have to pass it on the right side of that bord, this form has a build in light, but doesnt seem to be working. But it's not a scanner.

  • Doesn't seem to be working?  The driver's brain wasn't working since he went through a red light (and was stopped).

  • i ment a light inside the traffic sign, not the traffic lights right behind it :p But the driver was pretty stupid yes :p

  • Nothing evil or stupid about it. That wasn't a public street. Clearly it was an entrance or a ramp to something that requires VERIFICATION. Notice the SCANNER in front of the light by the drivers side. The light will turn green after scanning your verification infrared or magnetic from a device in your windshield or dashboard or your plate. Simple as that.The stopper was there to stop people from passing red lights without being verified. Some people are just stupid to ignore signs and warnings.

  • Comment removed

  • that's just fucking stupid

  • evil rule, there is not even a crossing

  • FAIL!!! LMFAO!!!

  • How more anti-car and anti-traffic can it get? Brain-washed bureaucratic idiots programmed to think up new ways to hamper & hassle one of the most VITAL assets of modern times... the car. That is nasty, dangerous, sick and unnecessary, and public money should never be spent in ways to deliberately slow and compromise peoples' lives like this.

  • That particular light and many other similar ones are heavily laden with warning signs.

    Anyway the light did turn red and the driver clearly drive thru it - serve him right.

    Usually such lights like this are usually to prevent cars driving thru public transportation only routes, carparks, toll roads and motorway freeways.

  • Well regulated roads mean more roads - something in my opinion is unsustainable.

    What is wrong with abit of patience?

  • yea what is wrong with just driving legally????

    red light running takes countless lives per year

    what about common sense codetwo

    if you don't run the red light nothing bad happens

  • yeah fucker

  • I love the Netherlands, never seen one of those though. Serves him right.

  • Tjaah .. dat is dom

  • Clever! Tip my hat to whomever planned this one!

  • justice. thats what they get for being in a hurry. it shouldnt matter the saftey of the driver who gets launched, its their fault that they ran the stupid light, they cant sue or anything hahahaha

  • fuck thats going to be expensive

  • clever....very clever..;]

  • wow, that would never fly over here. I mean you arent supposed to go through a red light...but I can understand it being a one way and it being at night, and it didnt see like the light changed because of a train or something. But how dangerous is that! Not only are the cars ruined but what if a child or just someone was injured? That thing totally messed up their car!!! Wow!!! Where is this?!

  • holland

  • whoever designed that must've been on drugs.

  • Hey,

    Do us all a favor,

    Take a drive around Holland.

  • hahaha what the crap? is there a curb that comes out of the ground whenever the light goes red?

  • wow lol kinda gay bt makes sence...poor guy who totally screwed up there van

  • wojooh its like a rocket

  • This road is a common route to bypass the very crowded A13 highway. People in the small town this road goes through were fed up with drivers speeding by (the one street you drive is very narrow so no escape route there). I guess their complaints caused the city planners to go for this kind of light. It's to take the speed away and to discourage going there when you don't need to be there. There's usually a cue of about 8 cars so you loose your advantage.

  • Die dingen moeten ze niet in mijn buurt gaan plaatsen, geheid dat ik er ook overheen vlieg. Niet dat ik door rood rijd maar als je bij groen al moet remmen omdat dat pokke ding omhoog komt...

    Ben er zelf trouwens nog nooit een tegengekomen. Midden Delftland was dit?

  • lol when it's changin in orange you need to stop already because at red the thing is going up...:D

  • Almost as good as the bus gate bollards in Manchester, England

  • LMAO, So the lesson is trying to proof is never run a red light

  • what r these lights for

  • look in the road, on the diamond. they're there to make sure you dont hit that

  • Oh my, explain that one to your insurance.

  • omg O.O

  • if a EMS had to pass when red they will have to let that person die.

  • lol thats funny

  • i would rather get a ticket from the city than gettin my car totaled by a stop light car launcher

  • Oh man! Theres a few places in the US that could def. use this type of light! Stupid drivers.

  • yaa fuck these stupid driver.

  • lol when he hits the bollard they go off like saying yayy!!! we got one!

  • LMAO!!

  • yooo WTF lmao!!!

  • oh damn that is tight but what the hell is the purpose of a street light there

  • lawl if only the world had those...maybe NYC?

  • at the hell is the idea of that

  • i have allways known that dutch people are crazy like hell

  • what?

  • wtf

  • looks like when they say stop they mean STOP!!

  • Lol. That's the way to stop the impatient. What about ambulances? Crash Whee, "ah!" goes the patient!

  • Awesome ... the kind of thing should be placed everywhere

  • u cannot find this strange .. the whole car just jumped.. in red light..

  • What is strange on this traffic light?

    It just works well, but it switches off (Dutch traffic lights are flashing orange when they are switched off) because the car crashed.

    I think, the stone remained down when the driver crashed (he just had to stop, as easy as it is!) and the traffic light switched off.

  • @iwandj25

    Waar in Nederland is dit ?

  • gemeente midden-delftland

  • Dankje. Het is wel een erg gevaarlijke situatie- is het ondertussen al verholpen ?

  • Naar mijn weten bestaat het nog steeds. En bovendien moet de bestuurder zelf voor de schade op draaien plus die van de dosseerinstallatie.

  • Leuk is dat toch dat Ministerie van Verkeer en Waterstaat.

    Wel geld vangen voor dit soort grapjes maar de files verhelpen ? Welnee.

  • Ja het mooie is nog dat ze het sluip verkeer willen tegen gaan. Dus nog meer files op de snelwegen door deze installatie. Maar ze zouden dit van mij wel op kruispunten mogen toepassen.

  • Ik weet het niet, het lijkt me een bijzonder gevaarlijke oplossing. Voor de snelweg is er wel een oplossing. Het Amerikaanse "Keep your Lane", hier in Nederland loopt iedereen altijd over de snelweg heen te zwabberen.

  • This is no accident.

    I think it's only fair that when a negligent, careless driver runs the red light, the "accident" happens to HIS/HER car, NOT to some innocent victim ahead.

    Every traffic light should be like this one, maybe NOW the driver will pay more attention to the RED light. (The reason this one particularly turns red so fast is because it's designed to control the flow getting on another street or highway. It's supposed to be ONE car per green.)

  • That device is obviously dangerous. It could cause an explosion of a vehicle potentially, and the passengers could be injured from this thing anyway.

  • The accident is not the fault of the device. There are danger signs many metres ahead of the light that inform drivers of the danger.

    And in the end, driving through a red light is illegal.

  • Ohh, I'm so sorry ... You can't burn a red light.

    Who is the dickhead?

  • ripped the thing out of the ground

  • them 'ere bollards are dangerous! hope we nev'r get'em 'ere in 'merica what with them things mashin' the underside of ya vehicle and all.

  • I hope those things smash everyone who think to burn the red light.

    Bollards forever!!

    Personally, i would preferr a gun to stop them

  • lol-you're a real soulja, son. that's law enforcement the wild west way! and maybe that's whats needed fer sum, i reckon.

    but in america--fer tha most part--folks pretty much stop fer them'ere red lights wit no problem.

  • lrn 2 sple... we need these in America...

  • LOL

  • assom but der ar to mats of dos tings in holland i haat dem :S

  • cool light!!!!!!!!!

  • dont mess with the lights!

  • You idiots! It's a bollard! Look it up... OMG

  • A bollard ... wouldn't think so, a bollard that folds down then or what?

  • In some countries Automatic Bollards slide into the ground only for certain vehicles such as delivery trucks and public transport. This one is to control how many people go through this street at once, so the bollard only lets one car through at a time. Neat huh?

  • it's a friggin' tragedy ta even have 'em! what's so neat 'bout gettin' the underside of ya car or truck all mangled by a government control device?!?

  • then ya gotta suffer the inconvenience of a million angry folks 'cuz ya created a traffic problem!

    in these 'ere states its against the law in some places to block traffic lik that. 'man could get a serious fine ta boot!

  • if you just stop for red, like you're supposed to,,there will be no problem. you only have to wait for maybe 5 seconds

  • that's what i dun said earlier--folk pretty much stop fer lights here in america. few folk run em like that what like ya see here in ths'ere vid.

  • Lol, thats the most easy way I've ever seen in how to stop red light runners. Awsome system!

  • It must be hacked.

  • P.S. This moron was RACING the red light!!

  • My sister was murdered by an asshole running a red light! I hope that vehicle WAS trashed! We need these in the U.S.!!!

  • that traffic light changed quick as shit!

  • This is rediculous I live in Holland and have never seen or heard about a traffic light like this. This must be a bad joke

  • We actually have these here, and quite a lot to be honest. This is to prevent people massively sneaking through residential areas to avoid the high ways at rush hour. You need to wait like 30 seconds to 1 minute before you can actually pass.

  • omfg! lol

  • is this real or a joke?? and i am not sure why they have a traffic light in a narrow one way road like that anyway, plain dumb

  • NICE!

  • Jump a red light - fair enough, get a fine but trashing the car is just plain sadism by a psycho local town hall. Punishment should fit the crime! Love Amsterdam though - yeah baby.

  • wAU...Imagine they do the same in Portugal...lolol...

  • omfg no wonder weed is legal man they wont let u do anything stupid lmao!!!!!

  • A motorcyclist taking the outside of the lanes would miss the pole. Dead on a high speed with gear wiuld be critically injured or dead. Slower speed it'd be, "Ah shit." and a few bumps and bruises and maybe a broken bone.

    This is only for two lane rodes it seems. If it were more lanes, the pole would be too dangerous to the safe drivers because of others crashing.

  • Mean.

  • hahaha, like they say in dutch: God straft onmiddelijk :D

  • dat is allah straft onmiddelijk, god bestaat niet meer... kutmoslims >.<

  • zeg dat wel

  • Serves him right. I bet next time he will not run the red light.

  • SWEET that will teach you not to run a red light and I like how the light recognizes there was a wreck

  • haha

  • Red RED!!!!!! Idiot open ur eye XD

  • Nice. That looked like fun, I can see why that person would want to do that. Although I wonder what would happen if a motorcycle tried that...

  • lol! fuckin IDIOT!!

  • it can't be a traffic light cause its not an intersection. its gotta be some sort of gate like a parking garage gate. he got owned. probably scraped up his car big time.

  • dude, here in the netherlands, we get fucking traffic lights at every fucking point you can t urn off to another road. well exept for on highways, but even then you sometimes get them (when you go on the highway). its a full country lotsa cars xD

  • Dude,what a jacked up and amusing idea for traffic control lol

  • he got pwned

  • haha, really cool

  • its for cars whit aremote control. they need a permit to get through. if you dont have a permit and a remote you cant drive through.

  • they need this systeam on a street at my house, to many ppl run a red light. funky.

  • harsh

  • Seems like getting you undercarraige shredded is a tough penalty for running a light

  • the real problem is that the green light only lasts for less than one second

  • Dude, it's not a traffic light. It's only meant to let one car at a time through.

  • was it just me or did the light change every 3 seconds, and also props to the guy for trying to stick it to the man sucks that he had to face the consequences though, but hey, all is far in love and war

  • hahahahahaha thats sucks!

  • Bitch thought he could cheat the system. xD

  • this is really clever. it stops hoons from jumping lights. Im sure the emergancy cars can get through though.

  • his car got FUCKED UP

  • ohhhh man!

  • To get the block go down and the lights go green you need a sender. Only special cars (taxi's etc. ) and buses can get through because they have a sender in their vehicle provided by local government.

  • its a gate man, closes the way from people whore not supposed to get there. (mainly on sneak passages where theyre used to prevent that masses of traffic will use those roads or something like that.)

  • wow this is so fucking stupid. there are no cars around, who gives a shit. As for you crazyrog17, you need to learn to think for yourself you sheep.

  • I'm guessing' that the people who make the laws give a shit and now, maybe the guy with the f'd up car. As for you yummy22543 you need to learn to think, you dimwit!

  • Wicked

  • hahaha that's coool

  • was that a jump?

  • WOW. we definately need that in americas big cities. i cant tell you how many people run the CLEARLY red light. at least two, but ive seen up to four. if we employed this, people would never run a red light again. awesome.
