From Atlantic Cities:

This is not good news for drivers who think they own the road.

French artist Florian Rivière has created a crosswalk that rolls up into a tube, allowing pedestrians to quickly lay walking bridges over busy streets.

The crosswalk is made from carpet and acrylic paint and sells for 10 EUR. Rivière has already found a couple of buyers for his perambulator-empowering invention, according to Pop Up City, although they might ask for their money back after crashing through the windshield of a speeding car, as these guerrilla crossings don’t do anything to change a city’s right-of-way laws.

Rivière is linked to the Démocratie Créative, an art collective in the Alsatian capital of Strasbourg that’s devoted to reshaping the urban environment in a more fun (or just funny) way. Here are a few of the interventions he’s been involved with over the past years.Want to suck down a brew but didn’t bring your bottle opener?
