Some people wonder if pressing the “walk button” at a crosswalk actually has any effects. Spanish designer Alfredo Adan Roses doesn’t provide an answer but comes up with a great idea to make street crossing more fun.
He created silicon molds of his fist and placed them on several crosswalk poles in downtown Los Angeles. Instead of pressing the good old button, passers-by had to “bump” the artificial fist to activate the walk signal.
According to the first videos made of the “Walkbump“, L.A. dwellers seem to have already adopted this unknown urban object. Engadget
