Good ideas from overseas (OT bit of fun)

Just back from a holiday and whilst there I refelcted on a few differences
seen there and other places (not really DIY) and wondered if others had
thought of similar things. Examples:
Bulgaria - Traffic Lights with an illuminated count-down in red or green
to the next change.
Dublin - Traffic lights with ped crossing countdowns - that are made of
stainless steel and don't look as though they were made in the 1950's (like
ours)
Lanzarote - In our villa - door frame with integral rubber seal to prevent
banging - well engineered door and frame with stainless steel hinges.
any others? Comments?
Esculators at tube stations only coming on when people were using them.
Think it was a light sensor triggered as you apporach the stairs.
Stockholm 1985.
