| CROSSY:
Portable Zebra-crossing mat.
The other territory we examine and invade is the zebra-crossing. These
stripes of white on tarmac, in the absence of a traffic light, interject
the fast moving vehicles on a road, as soon as a pedestrian sets foot
on it. The presence of a pedestrian on the white stripes, is a trigger
that stops the traffic and makes way for the pedestrian, thus temporarily
switching the domination over that area on the road for that period of
time. We designed a portable zebra-crossing mat. With this portable zebra-crossing,
the pedestrian can now switch the traffic off by just unrolling this striped
mat across any road. By unrolling the mat the pedestrian unveils a banner
that claims temporary authority over that part of the road, thus helping
him or her cross the busy road with ease.
