colorful crosswalks

Sometime in the last couple of years or so, these colorful crosswalks have appeared in the Fruitvale district.  You can't mistake where you're supposed to cross the street.  These designs look Moorish too me, reminiscent of what can be found in Spain.

    I love these very colourful crosswalks. Because of the winters here, in Canada, they wouldn't last very long.

    I've never seen a crosswalk as lovely as this one. Hats off to the author(s) and also to whom has allowed it.

    I have never seen this before. Beautiful and a good way to catch someone's attention to cross the street at the crosswalk.
