Panos 2013

You know why driving isn’t fun? Because your car is spewing out Earth killing gases? Maybe, but also the road signs can be so boring. It’s a problem the Panos 2013 aim to address in the town of Lyon, France. Taking the color scheme, materials and dimensions of real traffic signs, a group of artists have recreated fictional signs to create a gallery without walls and full of directions. They’ve placed 100 signs all around the city, and so far no wrecks. We don’t expect many of our readers will be able to hop over to Lyon (if you do, please let us know), but fortunately images of all 100 images are up on their site. Our favorites are below.
