Traffic Police 'Dance' To Rave Track Playing On Driver's Stereo As They Wave Cars Past

Jan 13, 2020

Pulling traffic duty as a police officer isn't often seen as the best assignment, as the job can be tiring, isolating, and boring. Attention to detail and a constant level of focus is required by the officer for the safety of the drivers they are directing. Except for the brief moment we watch for the signal to go, most of us don't really pay much attention to those officers out on the street directing busy intersections, until now.

Recently, commuters on the road had the luck to be at the corner for an interesting moment in the day of a couple traffic police when they filmed them caught up in the moment dancing to the music. A car at the intersection had loud music blaring and before long the traffic cops picked up on the beat and began keeping time to the music.

The video begins with a look at the intersection where the traffic officers are stationed, and in the background you can hear the music that fills the air as well as the delight and excitement of the driver and his passenger. Before long the video zooms in on one of the traffic cops where it becomes clear that they are making their hand movements perfectly matched to the beat. A few seconds later the camera pans over to a second traffic officer who has now also begun dancing with the music and directing traffic according to the beat of the music.

While it might just be a coincidence that this happened, the movements of the officers does match perfectly to the music that is playing. Neither officer seems to be outwardly dancing, as in they remain in the same posture the entire time, but their hands and arms seem to be perfectly in sync.

Either way, it is a fun video and it is encouraging to see both officers and drivers take a few minutes out of their busy and distracted days to notice each other. Have you ever passed by an enthusiastic traffic officer? Would you break out in dance if the right music happened to break up your otherwise long day?
