A cast concrete durable light fixture design and assembly that will allow in-ground lighting features for roadways, pathways and architectural features providing a simple installation for a drive over in-grade or in-ground lighting fixture. The cast concrete design enables curves and shapes to be manufactured as easily as straight or linear configurations.

A system and method for providing increased traffic carrying capacity of a road, such as a highway, by modifying an existing roadway from, for example, four lanes to five lanes, to create an additional travel lane. The system and method dynamically changes the width of travel lanes using, for example, embedded pavement lights, or other lighting arrangements, in lieu of traditional painted lane lines. As traffic volumes increase and speeds decrease along the road, an intelligent transport system (ITS) sends a congestion signal to the overhead lane controls and dynamic message signs (DMS) along the entire road segment of interest. The posted speed limits are changed, and the lane markings are controlled to dynamically increase the number of lanes in the road segment to five, for example, of narrower widths until traffic volumes reduce and the number of lanes can be returned to four, for example, with normal speed limits.

A control device includes a control unit configured to execute controls of displaying, on a roadway, a first crosswalk toward a first side of a roadway and displaying, on the roadway, a second crosswalk toward a second side of the roadway, and concealing the first crosswalk from the first side toward the second side while a pedestrian is crossing the roadway from the first side to the second side through the first crosswalk and the second crosswalk and concealing the second crosswalk after the pedestrian has crossed the roadway. The second side is opposite to the first side.

Provided is a method executed by a marking device that marks a first pedestrian crossing to be visually recognized by a pedestrian who is going to cross a roadway and a second pedestrian crossing to be visually recognized by a driver of a vehicle on the roadway. The method includes: marking the first pedestrian crossing and the second pedestrian crossing when one or more conditions including at least a condition that a first pedestrian who is going to cross the roadway from a first side to a second side is detected are satisfied; starting to unmark the first pedestrian crossing from the first side to the second side while the first pedestrian is crossing the roadway; and unmarking the second pedestrian crossing when the first pedestrian has finished crossing the roadway.
