| Country | France |
| Designer | Jérôme Boissière |
| Description | Varsko (from Danish, in English: warn, alarm) is a luminous system composed of 2 autonomous bounds which illuminate intersections between the bike path and the road.
A bound is composed of 5 LEDs, and is activated when the light goes down. Then two types of lighting will engage simultaneously. The first type is a LED illuminating the road with a green band, indicating the path the path for the cyclists. The second type is a white light, produced by 4 LEDs, which is propagated around the outer bound of the path. As a cyclist approaches, due to the presence detector, the light will flash for 10 seconds warning motorists of the crossing of a cyclist. Additionally, the system is also equipped with a solar panel that allows it to recharge when the system is turned off during the daylight. |
