What do you think, is this art?



This was forwarded to me the other day. Apparently this is a very effective form of speed control. 

People approach the "pot hole" and slow way down so as not to damage their car. They then position their car to straddle the hole and are jubilant when they make it across without feeling a bump. 

I find this humorous and rather cleaver at the same time. This is a creative way to make a living and at the same time make driving safer as long as one doesn't get rear ended while showing down!

This reminds me of a take on Julian Beever's chalk work. He would spend hours drawing on pavement and asphalt creating images that were mind bending. I wonder if who ever created this, saw his work and realized they couldn't spend hours drawing on the pavement , so they came up with this version instead.
