Visualizing Safety, Rule by Rule
The National Electrical Safety Code reads like a stack of legal fine print, hundreds of dense, numbered rules most people will never sit down and read. We turned it into a city instead, mapping specific codes onto the power poles, manholes, and work trucks people already pass every day without a second thought.
Pairing each rule with a familiar piece of the urban landscape gave an abstract regulation something to attach to, a transformer, a fence line, a crew working overhead. That visual anchor did the work a paragraph of legal language couldn't, making the code feel less like something to memorize and more like something you'd already noticed.
