Soft Infrastructure interruption

Somehow, this soft infrastructure, a zebra crossing in Marseilles, is quite intriguing: (1) it’s yellow (which reveals that it’s a temporary signage), (2) it’s interrupted by a layer of concrete that has been added there.

Why do I blog this? observing the decay of soft infrastructure and how different layers pile up in the urban environment.

    Not quite the same thing, but a bicycling sign in Santa Barbara where the sign layer and the construction of the surface layer happened at different times. I don’t know which was first, I assume the arrow (there is a similar arrow for the other direction that is not marred).

    Deeply moved by your interest for our city, but please, spell it right : MARSEILLE without “s”

    thanks
