Bikers are to get traffic directions from cops using ballet moves.

Police in the Romanian city of Timisoara are learning ballet in the hope the moves will help calm stressed out motorists stuck in traffic.

Dorel Cojan, head of community police, said: “The aim is to develop an ability to regulate traffic and achieve elegance in their movements, which will not only be agreeable to the eyes but could also help drivers waiting at red lights get rid of their stress or sadness.”
