Australian koalas have certainly been up to some rambunctious behaviour lately, kicking other koalas out of trees and hanging out in backyard swimming pools -- but this one on traffic duty just wants to make drivers stop...and collaborate and listen (hat tip to Twitter user Genni Palmato, who made the A+ Vanilla Ice reference).

The little fella was spotted chilling on a stop sign by the South Australian Police in Glen Osmond, a suburb in Adelaide, on Wednesday night. It was then caught by officers "who had 'bearly' started their shift."

When it was done keeping drivers on their toes, the koala was escorted onto a tree by the cops, the police posted on Facebook.

No doubt this guy will continue to remain kind of cute, until it somehow manages to hand you a traffic fine one day.
