In today's traffic, the relationship between pedestrians and motorists has increasingly become a matter of technological progress and symbolism. A striking phenomenon in this dynamic is the introduction of the so-called "running light" as a turn signal on modern cars. This new type of turn signal, in which the lights switch on and off sequentially, suggests a fluid, walking movement. But cars drive - they do not "walk". This raises the question whether this technology, intended to make the driver's intentions clearer, is an unintended dig at walking road users, who are increasingly confronted with an infrastructure that seems to marginalize their position.
