The traffic control project is a road safety experiment conceived by the Ísafjörður environment officer Ralf Trylla. Trylla was inspired by similar “floating” pedestrian crossings in India he spotted on the internet. “I was looking for other possibilities and different solutions to slow down traffic other than the regular speed bumps,” he explains.
Spoiler alert — the 3D effect optical illusion is achieved through a clever painted design.

- Solar power is shaping the future of home.
Homes of the future may rely a lot less on centralized power, and a lot more on sources that are decentralized, renewable, and cheap.
Electricity is the cornerstone of the modern world, but more than a billion people worldwide do without. Those who do live on the grid rely on expensive, aging systems increasingly vulnerable to disasters and attacks, with little back-up. The rapidly dropping price of solar panels may offer a way forward.
Whether they’re Michigan suburbanites looking to pay less each month or Guatemalan homesteaders looking to plug in their first light bulb, today’s solar customers are riding a wave that could change how our lives are wired.
