I'll tell you the reason you don't see this more, though: lifespan. Depending on what kind of paint they used, wear and tear from vehicles driving over the paint means it may only last a matter of months. Anyone know how this is looking now? Roadway engineers don't even want to incorporate colored asphalt on their projects because the color won't last as long as the pavement design life. Very creative.

This project instantly added color, life and soul to the often desolate feel of roads. I would love to see this expand on to other schools and roads throughout the city. That is amazing!
