A piano, some fries, a bar code, 3D puppets to a zebra ... really!

Big news in the world of zebra crossings

Drivers of Bristol (United Kingdom) are pissed by the zebra crossing that the council just painted near a school. Instead of using the classic white bands, the artists decided to throw the middle road and emulated the genuine drawings of zebras. Not being an official sign, protesting drivers, pedestrians and drivers maynot share common code and each differently interpret the symbol.

The controversial Bristol zebra crossing (zebra crossing) is just the latest in a long saga that puts these signs recognizable city halfway between art and advertising.Here are some of the crosswalks more surprising and original in the world
Where: Quebec (Canada)

What: visual metaphor of the ecological footprint of the American consumer, compared with that of an inhabitant of Bangladesh, whose impact would be equivalent to one foot


Where: Abbey Road, London (England)




What: A 3D simulation to cause a slight jolt to drivers and to remember that next time might not be a silhouette of Snoopy what are




Where: Paris (France)

What: A new twist to the above idea: the dolls become corpses here, to remind drivers that every year 7,000 pedestrians hit in Europe.
