OK until it rains?
Unless someone has invented permanent sidewalk chalk.
Haven’t you heard about it?
not chalk… good kludge
It looks like white spray paint from here. Still not sure how that would hold up though.
Must be the way to the school.
I recognize that! It’s the EAN code for the Clone-A-Willy kit.
I do hope that this chalk holds better than that paint. And what wipes whole street? I mean, it doesn’t look like ordinary tire wear. Giant snail?
It’s in Detroit, at the the corner of Walk and Don’t Walk.
Another great fix from the donkey-zebra guy directly from middle east.
good call
more like towel head man
All they need is a light that says “Chalk” and “Don’t Chalk”
When you absolutely, positively need a pedestrian crossing right now. And then you won’t need it anymore.
“Hey, Joe! This here contract says after we run the new water main we have to put the street back just exactically the way we found it – but we don’t have any of that fancy heat-set plastic reflective stripe paint stuff… Oh, I know! Hand me that spray can of Trench Marking White, I’ll have it fixed up in a jiffy and nobody will /ever/ know.”
Where do you want to go today?
The chalk wasn’t about budget cuts… it’s about job security. Every time it rains, you get paid to rechalk the intersection.
I’m surprised nobody has noticed that the street is not asphalt but just dirt spray painted black.
Win!
Spped bumps for people with no depth perception?
Sesame street just got a little safer.
It looks to me like the outside white lines are supposed to be there, to tell the cross walkers or bike riders where to stop for the road. The center lines look to be added by someone else after the fact who thought they knew better. I think this is not a kludge, but a well intended, failed graffiti job.
Quick! We need more Beatles! Whaddays mean there’s only four?
Wow, Abbey Road has really gone to heck.
Hopefully they saved enough chalk to outline the pedestrians’ bodies after the first rainstorm.
Glad to see the guys who painted the donkeys at Gaza Zoo have got a new job!
local graffiti artist makes his granny proud!
Finally.
Don’t underestimate chalk. I graffiti’d a wall in school some years back (using chalk); last time I checked it was still there
[...] Chalk It Up To Budget Cuts [...]
it looks like one of the roads in the city here in Mackay Queensland Australia…it was resurfaced and the lines had not yet been resprayed for the crossing….so they spray painted them on.
Not quite sure why though.
