36 cylinders form “No Passing” highway center lines. When lit from an angle, the grid of intersections illuminates as the viewer passes by.

Meaningful to me as I drove thousands of miles back and forth to ASU in Tempe, AZ from a small town 75 miles north. Grand Avenue consisted of a long stretch of two-lane, mostly no passing, highway. Semi trucks, tanker trucks, or cautious Sun City snow-birds shared this old highway with me both morning and late at night between Phoenix and Wickenburg.
