The Laser Wall simply throws up a visible image right the way across the street (as pictures here) and lets road users know that they need to stop.

From a practicality point of view… will this actually work? Are red lasers good at lighting up thin air? or will some kind of smoke or fog particles be needed to reflect the laser from?

If they could get it working it would be great, but I just don’t quite see it being possible with out a lot of work just yet.
