A roundabout for vehicular traffic is provided from a plurality of modular blocks arranged in a generally circular roundabout pattern and affixed to a roadway or ground surface at an intersection of vehicle roadways. Roundabouts can be formed in any desired diameter. In some embodiments, the modular blocks can have a trapezoidal plan shape laid out in concentric rings. The trapezoidal shaped blocks can be cut from a length of board having a constant width and thickness. The modular blocks can be provided as a kit of parts delivered to worksite at an intersection of vehicle roadways where a roundabout is desired. Splitter islands, sidewalks, and curbing of blocks having appropriate shapes can also be provided.

A self-contained solar-powered illuminated safety marker having an improved housing design adapted for secure, flush-mounting into a road surface which includes a projection positioned to extend vertically downward from the bottom surface of the safety marker to secure the housing in its flush mounted position into a road surface and a solar cell with circuitry designed to illuminate the safety marker in response to a variety of environmental conditions.

A theater structure is disclosed in which customers may view a picture from the seats of their automobiles or from seats provided within the theater. A circular shape outdoor drive in cinema structure is proposed where the cinema structure resembles a full moon with theaters replicating a half moon. The Outdoor seating areas and furniture are in the shape of a crescent moon where vehicles are able to drive in to a designated lot with a private lot. The designated parking spaces are marked with a star that is named after a movie legend. The lots include seating a fire pit and premium amenities.

An autonomous vehicle (AV) can process a live sensor view to autonomously operate acceleration, braking, and steering systems of the AV along a given route. While traveling along the given route, the AV can identify an encoded road stripe in the live sensor view, and decode the encoded road stripe to determine location data corresponding to the encoded road stripe.
