This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I saw a bunch of projected signs like this in Finland that were used for marking bike paths. Projections mean that the markings are still visible even in thick snow (I saw a few people cycling through knee deep snow. Finns are absolute madlads, even by Nordic standards). They're useful because even when paths are cleared (which was impressively thorough — the vast majority of paths had been ploughed)
Stuff like this is why I love travelling — I'd have never thought of the issue that regular snow would cause for road markings, nor would I have thought to solve it like this.
