Mannequins dressed up as traffic police have been placed on roads in the southern Indian city of Bangalore.
Dressed in police caps, white shirts and brown trousers, and wearing sunglasses, the mannequins are now on duty at congested junctions.
It's hoped drivers will mistake them for real police and think twice about breaking the rules of the road.
Bangalore has eight million registered vehicles on its streets, with this number expected to grow to more than 10 million by 2022.
Speaking on the new initiative, a senior traffic police officer in Bangalore, explained the reason behind the mannequin’s introduction, saying: "The idea of placing these mannequins at a different location every day is because people behave differently when there is a policeman present at the junction.
“When he is not there, their behaviour is different."
