URBAN RIVER

This place is a road that was painted with blue color. People painted this road with blue color in order to avoid accidents that had happened very often in the past. Previously, the city center had an average of 8 accidents per year. So, since 2003 when it was introduced, it has been reduced to effectively 0. In April 2007, the artist HENK HOFSTRA painted a 1000 meters road in Drachten blie with white lettering and traffic markings. There is the phrase “Water is life” written in 8 meters high letters accros it. This project took 4000 litres of paint and cost 75.000 Euros. Half of the cost was covered by municipal funds.
