A while ago everyone was smitten with the virtual bike lane idea. Someone actually made it happen.
As you remember, Lightlane
was just a very clever concept in a design competition. Apparently the
response was so overwhelming from bicyclists all over the world that
the inventors actually decided to make it into a commercial product.
Apart from the "super-bright red LEDs," LightLane uses two high
visibility Diode-Pumped Solid State green lasers to draw a path that
"protects" the biker on the street.
Personally, I think the LED does way more good than the laser, but it is a marginally cool effect.
