Urban Planning with a Twist: Nifty Gadgets That Should Be in Every City

There are plenty of tunnels that are poorly lit. Honestly, dark tunnels are pretty scary to drive through. That’s why this vintage photograph of the Tunnel du Mont Blanc from the 1960s is so impressive. The tunnel electricians really went the extra mile when adding light fixtures to this underground passage. 

Every single inch of this tunnel is illuminated by the lights above. There’s no room for mystery, which is just how we like our tunnels. Although we’ve improved our tunnel lighting in recent decades, there’s still a long way to go. All tunnels in the world should aspire to be like the Tunnel du Mont Blanc in France.
