Traffic Light tree, Public art sculpture in Tower Hamlets, England
The Traffic Light Tree comprises 75 sets of traffic signals arranged in a tree formation, reaching a height of eight meters.
French sculptor Pierre Vivant created this installation in 1998 to replace a natural plane tree that had deteriorated due to pollution.
The computer-controlled light patterns represent the continuous movement and activity of the surrounding financial district of Canary Wharf.
The sculpture stands on a roundabout near Billingsgate Market, accessible by taking the Jubilee Line to Canary Wharf station.
In 2005, British motorists voted this roundabout as their favorite in a national survey conducted by Saga Motor Insurance.
