I started noticing a change to crosswalks in some of the towns near me this summer. Roads were freshly paved, and the new crosswalks appeared to be brick. It looked like a lot of work, but the crosswalks seemed to appear overnight!
 | Ah, mystery solved! An article in today's Boston Globe gave me the missing information. According to the article,"the crosswalks are made from a form of plastic that is melted and poured onto the street, where it bonds with the asphalt. The designs can be imprinted to resemble brick or other natural stones..." Photo courtesy of the Boston Globe |
