I’d Go For a Series of Hyper-Realistic Speed Bumps

By: Mr. Wilson on January 26, 2010
So Lincolnites, what would you paint in your neighborhood intersection(s) if such a thing were legal? I don't have any brilliant ideas for my neighborhood's streets. I did come up with an idea that could be kind of fun, but it would be very difficult to execute. We could design -- or rather, have designed for us -- a series of ambigrams that correspond to the streets that meet at that intersection. Essentially they would behave just like the street signs at the intersection, but each would be a single image painted in the center of the intersection. I wish I were creative enough to sketch out an example because I doubt I'm being very clear. What would you draw in your neighborhood's intersections?

I would paint signs warning drivers of potholes.

The older parts of town have neighborhood names like Bethany, Havelock, Uni Place, Near South, etc. and it would be interesting to have designs that relate to the history of the neighborhoods.

How about a nice trivia series? Too distracting?

You could paint fake potholes just to mess with people.

First you’d have to find unblemished patches of asphalt on which to paint them…
