People in the English village of Fillongley were having trouble with speeding drivers cruising through town and putting pedestrians at risk, so they came up with a creative solution.
The local “Knit and Natter” crafting club spent four months stitching together realistic-looking traffic cop mannequins. These knitted traffic cops are wearing high-visibility vests and holding mock speed guns — and are located beneath speed limit signs.
Local leaders say they are already seeing fooled motorists hit the brakes. And townspeople are praising everyone involved for creating the clever, yarn-crafted security team, who were able to turn a serious safety issue into a fun local success everyone can celebrate.
