Street intersections in city environments with no signals are notorious for being unsafe for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists alike, so the conceptual 'conveX' street intersection sign has been designed to help drastically enhance safety.
The sign features a reflective design that is intended to help eliminate the occurrence of blindspots and help those who are entering the intersection to know if someone else is approaching. The sign could eliminate the need for conventional mirrors that are often installed on walls or nearby surfaces, but which can be easily shifted over time.
The conceptual 'conveX' street intersection sign is the design work of Cheng-An Juan Lu and Tzu Ying Yu, and is focused on being easily installed as well as suited for streets of any size.
