Traffic Light Tree

A student driver's nightmare

12

Drive through the Heron Quays Roundabout in Canary Wharf and you’ll be able to catch a view of this traffic light mutation. This stoplight “tree” changes its many lights in a random order, no doubt much to the confusion of unprepared drivers.

Designed by artist Pierre Vivant in 1998, the changing patterns of the “Traffic Light Tree” were meant to reflect the “never ending rhythm of the surrounding domestic, financial and commercial activities.”
