Ibrahim Cam, a 23-year-old final-year student studying Industrial Design and Technology at Brunel University London, came up with an innovative solution for cyclists called Laser Lane.
Laser Lane is a device that attaches to both ends of the handlebars and, with a push of a button, projects a laser lane on each side of the cyclist. This laser lane is meant to show motorists the safe distance of 1.5 meters they should maintain when overtaking cyclists in the UK.

In addition to the laser lane feature, the product includes touch-activated indicators, as well as front and rear lights. Ibrahim explains. “The laser lane aims to enhance cyclist visibility and facilitate better communication with other road users,” the student said. “The capacitive touch-activated lights, positioned at the handlebar ends, allow drivers to gauge the actual dimensions of a bicycle, and the laser provides a visual cue for motorists to ensure sufficient clearance for cyclists.”
“The front lights emit white light, while the rear lights emit red light, enabling drivers to distinguish between the front and rear of a bicycle. Moreover, the device features capacitive touch-activated indicators, enabling cyclists to clearly signal their intentions when making turns,” he added.
Laser Lane made its debut at the recent annual Made in Brunel exhibition, where final-year students from Brunel Design College showcased their inventions.
