The newly installed lights in the Suurhall and Zoo tunnels replicate the movement of people in the walkway and change colour according to the speed of movement.

Deputy Mayor Kalle Klandorf said the Haabersti roundabout is one of the most important traffic junctions in the city, and it was considered important to use interesting and economical lighting solutions when planning it.

"A dynamic lighting solution was installed on the Rocca al Mare viaduct last year, now it is a pleasure to announce that special solutions of lighting in the Zoo and Suurhall tunnels has also been completed. The passages of the tunnels are illuminated in the best possible way and the whole picture is visually attractive," said Klandorf.

Oleg Siljanov, the deputy head of Haabersti district, said that the lighting makes the walkway exciting and visually appealing.

"In order to prevent vandalism and increase the safety of the area, security cameras have also been installed in the tunnels, the footage of which is transmitted to the control centre of the Estonian Police and Border Guard Board," Siljanov added.
