#47 Sunshine Coast traffic signal box art trail
Â
The unassertive traffic signal box is often overlooked as it sits at intersections and roadsides in metropolitan areas. Urban Smart Projects, a community art initiative, has made it their mission to bring colour and art to cities and help fight graffiti. (www.urbansmartprojects.com)
Follow this trail around the Sunshine Coast and admire the original designs reflecting the vibrancy, character and stories of the community. I have included a statement from each artist about their artwork. The geocaches on this trail should be fairly quick to find to prevent cachers being too conspicuous searching in these high muggle traffic zones.

I like traffic lights, I like traffic lights.
 A Crossing for the Happy Bugs â painted by Mieke Salna â November, 2011. This box is located in an area with a daycare centre and schools. Lots of children cross here every day. The box is set a bit away from the road in the grass. I designed a crossing for the happy bugs in the grass. The black and white of the grass and fence represents the hustle and bustle of urban life, filled with beautiful, colourful and different creatures. The fence behind the crossing, doubles as a zebra crossing for the flying happy bugs.

You are seeking a small container nesting in a hollow. Plenty of room to park off the road at gz. The location may be busy at peak dog play times. Room for tiny swaps only.
