Don't look down now: Cyclists faced with huge 'hole' in the ground on towpath... luckily it's just pavement art
|
This frightening image of crater-like hole in the middle of a towpath makes Britain's pot holes pale into insignificance. Thankfully, it is just a three dimensional drawing of a canyon, all in the name of pavement art... and to make careless cyclists slow down.
The artwork was commissioned by British Waterways and has been installed along the Regent's Canal towpath in Islington, North London.
It came in response to reports of cyclists riding carelessly and endangering pedestrians.
But now it is hoped the hole, which is painted on a canvas and edged with chalk, will make riders slow down for fear of falling.
The work is by Joe Hill and Max Lowry, street artists who specialise in three-dimensional images.
