5.12 Artwork on Crossings

Using colourful artwork on formal crossings, rather than different coloured tarmac or paving, has been trialled in several areas in the UK and internationally. This is a cost-effective way of making a crossing more prominent, bringing art and colour to the street and encouraging community collaboration

However, consideration must be given to the impact on pedestrians with visual impairments and other disabilities who may be affected.

Representative groups must be consulted before implementation.
