While looking cool, it seems to me like this catches a pedestrian's attention more than the one of the drivers. If pedestrians are distracted from traffic right before crossing, this would make crosswalks less safe.

It should be more useful (but more expensive) to lighten up the actual crosswalk signs on the road as soon as pedestrians are approaching.

Obviously that's only because they see it for the first time in the video. In actual use it will not catch their attention at all...
