Uploaded on 2018-02-28 by Carmen Tecklenburg
This is a picture taken in Auckland Park, Johannesburg, South Africa by Carmen Tecklenburg What you see is a silver and red gate which is the entrance to a building. You see a pedestrian, roadworks taken place with a person working on the roadwork project, garbage bins and more. The invisible information is 1) these roadworks form part of an uplift of this area, 2) these roadworks cause traffic flow delays This invisible information could be used to 1) attract investors to this area as this uplift will enhance the livability, 2) the city could offer roadwork information to its citizens via an app so one is aware of congestion of traffic flow, this app could be linked to google maps so people would automatically be diverted around this road while works are happening, with that reducing the congestion and enhancing driving spirits of commuters.
