Simple and charming. Nothing extraneous to weigh it down. Upvoted with pleasure.
Thank you!
(Also, very British. *pours you a cuppa*)

What happens to jaywalkers?
To continue a tired joke:
[DATA EXPUNGED]
If this had been written a year or two ago, I might have upvoted it. It's well written, and the idea is kind of interesting. Just not interesting enough for me to upvote, as the site is now.
Admin, SCP Wiki
We shouldn't have to read the testing logs to find out what this thing actually does. That's what the description is for.
So, does this thing stop you like a brick wall when it's set to "Enforce," or is it a spike strip? Or is it solely based on speed?
Points for not making this thing crazy lethal. I fully expected the driver running through the "orange" light to get sheared in half or something.
It looks to be at least partially random; that or it's tied to the speed somehow (despite the higher speeds actually still letting you go on for a while, I would think those would be the ones to come to a dramatic and painful stop)
Unless, of course, the builders actually were concerned over safety of the people in the car. Under a certain speed, it stops you dead because they figure that it's a survivable crash. Over a certain amount, it causes a mechanical failure (bike chain slipped, blown tires, etc) because it causes the vehicle to potentially bleed off speed before crashing. Admittedly, it's got some issues (not recognizing that bicycles are not safe to suddenly stop even at low speeds), but it shows surprising foresight for an SCP.
Yes, I'd say that it's certainly the most thoughtful and intelligent traffic signal I've ever met.
When taken out of context, that is one of the funniest things I've read.
Agreed on the above, keep the italicized/bold/normal structure a bit more consistent and put a concise description of the full effects in… Well, the description. Good enough to upvote for me despite little irks.
Also, I'm quite happy to see some multinational work going on; the Foundation exists all over the world, I'd personally love to see some more entries demonstrating the fact.
Very well executed and interesting. As Bright said, this fits in a bit better with the, shall we say, "old" style of writing for the site, as far as effects and suchlike go. And a bit of me appreciates that.
Fixed your footnote; feel free to revert if you prefer it the old way.
Also fixed all those weird "ou" spelling erroJUST KIDDING.
I am just alright with this article. I don't think it's bad, but doesn't quite interest or charm me enough for an upvote.
