Detailed description (English): The colored lines that were placed in a large part of our city are an innovative and standard concept with multifaceted uses aimed at young and old, visitors and permanent residents of our city. The navigation lines can be an occasion for competitions and games, for a solitary walk or with groups, cycling and skating. They can also act as a guide for those who do not know the destination they wish to find. These colorful lines look like a happy rainbow and symbolize the diversity of each destination, which has its own beauty, just as it happens with the diversity of each of us. This simplistic idea of colored lines which are on the ground and which you can follow by foot enables you to find what may be otherwise hard to find locations in a very easy way. Instead of worrying about asking someone else and having to remember a number of different turns and directions, just follow each one for the destination you wish to visit. Color coding signage means a wonderful opportunity to further improve the user experience. This model could be adopted by all cities, and especially the touristic ones, in order to ease the navigation in the city in a cheap and environmental way, that promotes a healthier way of life, targeting to all ages. Exercising from walking or cycling would be a great adventure for all.
The different traffic color codes a different destination.
