For this 96-foot-long crosswalk, the town of Medford wanted a theme of “pedestrian safety”.
I started with “ped figures” traced from your standard crosswalk signs, and proceeded to add variations (you will see the much loved slippery-floor “Jazz Hands” figure), and several based on people dancing. They start out walking sedately at the beginning, then get more exuberant till they’re having a dance party in the middle, then get normal again out the other side, ending in a figure with a briefcase who has clearly had enough of all this.
