28 Pedestrian Crossings Turned Into Urban Arts And Ads
Most of us live in big cities surrounded by concrete and glass. Those with artistic souls and who enjoy a bit of color in their lives may feel trapped surrounded by all that grey and are constantly searching for ways to express themselves. That’s where street art and urban art step in.
Many people associate urban art with graffiti, that are mostly illegal and many might find offensive. But there are plenty of other ways to give a fun twist to the dull city, one of which is using what you already have and making it more fun, like the pedestrian crossing or the crosswalk. That white-lined section designed for a safe crossing of the road simply begs for a makeover. And in recent years it’s been getting it all over the world.
The potential of transforming the crosswalk into something more eye catching has even caught the attention of various marketing companies, using crosswalks as a form of an advertising billboard. The result are some fine works of urban art.
Check out what some creative people from all over the world have done to make their crosswalks a little less boring.
