Glowing Crosswalk

The “Glowing Crosswalk” urban prototyping concept provides increased visibility of pedestrians within a crosswalk at night. As a literal intersection for all types of people and most forms of transit, crosswalks are a lively and potentially dangerous place. This concept features the installation of high-output LED lamps at either entrance to a crosswalk as a complimentary addition to existing street lighting. The spread of light from these lamps is focused exclusively on the crosswalk path which, when illuminated, becomes brighter than the surrounding roadway and sidewalks. The lamps fully illuminate when pedestrians are in the crosswalk and otherwise rest in an off or dimmed state. Read more.
