Drivers on a freeway are often unaware when other more
environmentally-friendly means of transportation are even faster
than driving on a congested freeway, so a contiguous rope of
chasing LEDs installed alongside the freeway can represent the
speed of the average bicyclist or mass transit. These
lights would
be installed around cities that have alternatives to driving activate
when traffic reaches a certain speed at a frequently jammed part
of the city.
Another method of speed control

Better to have an actual stream of happy cyclists or bus passengers? |

In Perth, the main freeway south of the city has a railway
line running down the middle of it, between the two
carriageways, so you can watch the actual trains going
past. And, yes, for some of its length there's also a
cycle path on each side, just beyond the slow lane. |

Could possibly carry a bicycle on the back of your
car. When needed there should be special parking
places where you can leave your car so then you
can start riding your bike. How would the lights
differentiate the speed of a bicycle or mass transit
As compared to how fast/slow you are going? |

I am hesitating on a croissant because I am
thinking this is a little bit confusing to me as to
how it would work. Problems going back to get
your car… |

I'm bunning the name "evildork". [+] |

Idea's interesting too but "evildork" is the single greatest HB
moniker. |

I can't believe that they've been around since '05 and this is the first time I've seen them. |

Walking between the looking...
Well done. |

And needlessly irritate all the commuters trying to get OUT of
the city for whom such transportation is not a viable
alternative, thus contributing to an already growing road rage
problem, at least in my city. [-] |
