This is great. Maybe I'm crazy, but I'm okay with violence against people who think their convenience takes priority over the safety of others.
the bricks all end up on one side of the cross walk. good idea, no way for it to actually work.
Regular enough bidirectional foot traffic would make it work.
Japan used a flag system, the higher the traffic the less likely it is to work
Flags aren't bricks.
It's hard throw a flag through a windshield.
It's a joke.
Just throw them back after use.
I love it, an elegant solution ... now if only we could find an elegant end user to actually implement it.
Yet somehow some city think it's a good idea to use the same exact idea but with a flag when crossing the street.
