The traffic light was installed Tuesday at the junction of Hoang Van Thu, Tran Phu and Ba Thang Hai streets.

In keeping with its reputation as the Town of Flowers, the frame around the red, amber and green lights has a floral shape.

Da Lat authorities expect to install similar traffic lights at six other intersections this year as part of a 6.4 million USD project to ease traffic congestion in the resort town.

The town has seen a surge in visitors in recent years, especially during weekends and holidays, that increases traffic congestion in downtown areas.
