The five-sided design is of an enormous intersection. Durham in North Carolina was another project. The project involved a four-sided intersection with a massive painted blue orbs. Atlanta, Fort Lauderdale, Florida and Trenton (New Jersey) are a few other cities that saw their roads transformed. After the art was completed seventy percent of these efforts resulted a decrease in crashes in the roadways.
According to Janette Sadik-Khanfrom the University of Michigan, the rehabilitation of streets provides a large area for more secure street designs. Using vibrant urban artwork which stands out is one of the biggest successes of these city projects. Take note that these art programs don’t necessarily translate to successes as it was found that the Asphalt Art Safety Study found that work carried out in cities across Georgia, mainly Atlanta and Decatur, didn’t help reduce the number of crashes. Instead, they raised them. Decatur saw decreased by 28% crash fatalities, while Atlanta saw an increase of 41% in crashes.
