Chalk Walk Fail

This morning at 10am we met to do the sidewalk chalk test, to see if people would utilise a crossing.




We cut a footstep stencil out, and added coloured stripes to the ground with spray chalk. We then set up a time lapse to capture people using the crossing.
However, apart from a few people who were going in the right direction to use our crossing, literally everyone else simply was not going the right way to even consider using the crossing. Most people just walked over it because they were going the opposite way! That was an oversight on our part.

But the people going the right way did in fact use it, so that was a partial success.

I will return tomorrow morning before class to see if any early classgoers use our crossing if they are approaching from the right direction to use it.
