Hear ‘SLOWING DOWN’

  • Mingyu Xiao

I found that London has many floating bus stops, although this design is to isolate bicycles from buses and ensure the safety of cyclists. But pedestrians have to share the road surface with cyclists. This design has caused issues for visually impaired people. Therefore, I designed this project by laying speed bumps on the road at different intervals. When a bicycle passes through speed bumps, not only slows it down, but the noise emitted by the bicycle also allows the visually impaired to determine their distance from the rider. Noise can also warn guide dogs to alert the guide dog user to potential hazards.
