Jena gets the smartest traffic lights
Our members’ joint initiative for the Bürgerbudget 2025 was a success! “Jena’s smartest traffic lights” got the votes they needed and will be implemented in 2026: Soon, selected pedestrian traffic lights in JenaVersum will display symbols from the world of science – from microscopes to microorganisms. The motifs promote the visibility of innovation and represent what Jena is all about: research, education, and community. This way, every traffic light stop becomes a little discovery tour through the science city of Jena. Research does not belong behind closed doors, but in the midst of life, on our streets and squares. That’s why there is a QR code at each of the traffic lights. Anyone who scans it will receive clear information about current research topics and our institutions. A big thank you to everyone who voted!
