You have to admit, most [street signs in a city](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-traffic-management) are not night vision-friendly. Either they're so dark that you can't view them without an LED flashlight on hand, or they are so reflective that it is near impossible to make out the text. The Intersection Signaletique project will make it so you never have to squint at another sign again.

Just in the prototype phase right now, the Intersection Signaletique project displays the names of streets as well as [nearby events and shops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peace-love-joy) right on to the street via [high powered projectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/night-light-projectors) that sit up high at each corner of the intersection.
