In the bustling urban landscape, pedestrian safety at road intersections has long been a critical concern. Low visibility during dawn, dusk, or inclement weather often leads to traffic accidents, putting the lives of pedestrians at risk. To address this challenge, Aladdin Lighting Technology, a leading innovator in intelligent lighting solutions, has leveraged its flagship brand Noparde to deploy state-of-the-art zebra crossing projection lights at a high-traffic intersection in a major city. This case study delves into how cutting-edge technology has revolutionized crosswalk visibility, reduced potential hazards, and set a new standard for urban traffic safety lighting.
The Challenge: A High-Risk Intersection in Need of Improved Safety
The selected intersection, located in the heart of a commercial district, witnesses a daily influx of pedestrians—including office workers, shoppers, and students—and heavy vehicular traffic. Prior to the implementation of solution, the traditional painted zebra crossings faced significant limitations. During early morning fog, evening rain, or when streetlights were dimmed, the white lines of the crosswalks became barely visible to both drivers and pedestrians. Local traffic data indicated a rising number of near-miss incidents, highlighting an urgent need for a more reliable and visible crosswalk system. Aladdin Lighting Technology, recognizing the gravity of the issue, proposed its Noparde zebra crossing projection lights as a targeted solution to enhance safety and visibility.
Noparde’s Solution: Cutting-Edge Projection Technology for Unmatched Visibility
At the core of this case is zebra crossing projection light system—a product designed to address the flaws of traditional crosswalks through advanced optical engineering and intelligent control. Unlike conventional painted lines that fade over time and rely on external lighting, projection lights emit bright, high-contrast zebra patterns directly onto the road surface.
Key features of the Noparde system that made it ideal for this intersection include:
- All-Weather Performance: The projection lights are equipped with IP67 waterproof ratings and anti-fog technology, ensuring clear visibility even in heavy rain, fog, or snow.
- Energy Efficiency: Powered by LED technology, Noparde’s lights consume 70% less energy than traditional streetlights, aligning with the city’s sustainability goals.
- Intelligent Sensing: Integrated motion sensors detect the presence of pedestrians, automatically adjusting the brightness of the projected zebra lines to maximize visibility when needed, and dimming during low-traffic periods to save energy.
- Durability: Constructed with high-strength aluminum alloy, the Noparde fixtures are resistant to impact, corrosion, and extreme temperatures, guaranteeing a long service life of up to 10 years with minimal maintenance.

Implementation and Results: A Safer Intersection Powered by Noparde
The installation process, led by Aladdin Lighting Technology’s professional team, was completed in just two days to minimize disruption to traffic and pedestrian flow. The Noparde projection lights were mounted on existing traffic poles at the four corners of the intersection, positioned to cast uniform zebra patterns across the entire crosswalk area. Each light was calibrated to ensure the projected lines were crisp, aligned with the road’s width, and visible from a distance of up to 50 meters—giving drivers ample time to spot pedestrians and slow down.
In the three months following the implementation, the city’s traffic management department collected data that showcased the transformative impact:
- 85% Reduction in Near-Miss Incidents: Reports of drivers failing to notice pedestrians at the intersection dropped by 85%, a significant improvement compared to the pre-installation period.
- Increased Pedestrian Confidence: A survey conducted among local residents revealed that 92% of pedestrians felt safer crossing the road after the Noparde lights were installed, with many noting that the bright, visible lines made them more aware of their surroundings and more visible to drivers.
- Positive Driver Feedback: Drivers also reported increased awareness, with 78% stating that the projected zebra lines were easier to spot than traditional painted crosswalks, especially in low-light conditions.
- Low Maintenance and Energy Savings: The city’s municipal team confirmed that the Noparde system required no maintenance during the three-month period, and energy bills for the intersection’s lighting decreased by 65%—a cost-saving benefit that will accumulate over the product’s long lifespan.
Noparde—Setting the Standard for Urban Pedestrian Safety Lighting
This case study exemplifies how Noparde, Aladdin Lighting Technology’s flagship brand, is not just a provider of lighting solutions but a pioneer in enhancing urban safety. By combining innovative projection technology, energy efficiency, and durability, Noparde’s zebra crossing projection lights have addressed a critical safety gap at a high-risk intersection, protecting pedestrians and improving the overall traffic ecosystem.
As cities around the world continue to prioritize pedestrian safety and sustainability, Noparde stands out as a trusted choice for intelligent lighting solutions. This case serves as a testament to commitment to innovation and its ability to transform urban spaces into safer, more efficient environments—one crosswalk at a time.
