Code 1057

You know these symbols which you see all over town? You know how they can be quite different?

There's a book for that.

Phil Carter published this little book of bike lanes, in all their manifestations, as the result of recording his daily commute to and from the studio. It's called Code 1057 after the name of the Road Marking Diagram the symbol is derived from.

I think it's out of stock now, so keep an eye out on Abe Books for it. I've just ordered a copy.

I assumed this was a stencil, but then I saw two blokes doing with by hand with a stick for guidance.

Hi Ben, still loving the blog.
Unfortunately don't think you'll find a copy of 1057 through Abe books as print run ran out a couple of years ago, however I still have a couple here at the studio so will pop one in the post tonight (should really bike it over personally!) Send it to W&K OK?
Volume 2 in the very
long pipeline but some of the best are on my Flickr Group site, 'repainted bike lane symbols.'

keep up the good work.....

all the best
Phil
