The clever details in this image from Japan alone are worth talking about. A California license plate, a rubber dummy in a “Police” miniskirt holding a big pink “wand” next to a “Peace” cruiser… it’s all kind of weird and hilarious and yet probably still very effective in reducing threats to the public from high-speed cars.

It’s hard to believe but the last time I wrote about this sort of thing was fourteen years ago: “Drivers Slow for Decoy Police Women (in Skirts)”

Authorities say that life-sized cardboards of female police officers in miniskirts placed alongside roads have managed to slow down speeding drivers…

We’ve come a long way from cardboard. We haven’t come a long way from sensuality and sex as a traffic control device. What a time to be alive.

The Japanese man also deployed well-dressed dummy male police officers sitting next to a giant fake speed camera.
