Shenzhen traffic police have taken the lead in their use of high technology to catch jaywalkers and drivers who break traffic rules.

Since April 15, jaywalkers at the intersection of Xinzhou and Lianhua roads have been photographed and had their faces instantly displayed on a big screen.

"It's expected to play an increasingly important role in reducing jaywalking," according to Li Qiang, director of science and technology for the Shenzhen Public Security Bureau.
