Also, here’s a behind-the-scenes look at graffiti artists spraying a crosswalk as part of an awareness campaign:

This is a campaign to reduce automotive death. The majority of the time, preventative efforts focus on passenger safety and overlook the startling fact that about 25% of all automotive-accident victims are pedestrians. To spread awareness of this fact as part of Portugal’s ‘Safe Street Week’, Draft FCB Lisbon was commissioned to create a zebra crossing memorial where the stripes consisted of names of pedestrians killed by cars. The result is a spine-chilling visualization of pedestrian deaths that may ultimately be self-defeating as it distracts people trying to cross the street.
