Photo #15532

Let's have children playing hopscotch on the road. To enable this, make hopscotch shapes out of bricks permanently built into the road.

Photo from a housing estate in Assen in the Netherlands. The area is a woonerf, so by law cars are not allowed to exceed walking pace and must give way to pedestrians and cyclists. It was built in this way in the 1970s. I think it's about time that Britain caught up.

Another photo of another hopscotch game in another part of the same estate is shown together with a video of the area in this blog post:

It doesn't even slightly resemble the much newer housing estate here: #12336
