Description

There are probably about a hundred of these plastic signs in the middle of the road, indicating to traffic that the law says they must yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk. Now that's a real improvement from a few years ago, when they didn't exist. But #nhvisbetter and everything else... Why not improve on this design?

Stereomedia.Org would like to challenge MakeHaven to create a design that is an improvement to this. The terms of this assignment as as follows:

> It might incorporate the existing plastic items
> It might include electronics (sensors especially)
> It should be durable to withstand the elements
> It should be cheap to manufacture
> It must be seen as an improvement to the original design

In the event that the design is successful, there are tons of towns and municipalities of all shapes and sizes which might be interested in trying out this type of civic improvement in their downtown sidewalks. If the design succeeds and these organizations become interested in implementing this design, maybe it will keep #nhv on the map for cool inventions, and would be a great way to connect two great organizations (SeeClickFix and MakeHaven).

Good Luck! Nhv.Org will be reporting on the success of this project in high-definition 720p.
