Concept
The idea is when I commute by bike in the countryside, sometimes I'm feeling in danger. Especially near my house, where there is a stone quarry with trucks that use the same small road I need to take to go to work.
So the Idea is to create a special traffic sign that I'll ask to put at the stone quarry. The sign can be activated with LoRa with a small module put on the bike called Wally (from Where is Wally?).
The sign will show the distance of the bike and the first name of the driver.

Future developments
It will be nice to develope a bit more this project, to try to equip a road with some signs. More infos on what could be made for the future of the project on the week17 page.
