Flat brick medians?

On US 69 just north of Muskogee, OK, the median is made of bricks but is not raised and is level with the travel lanes.  Are there any other examples of this?

It's not brick, but it's a flat median, nonetheless.


Be well,

Never seen a flat brick median, however the borough of Media, PA has a few brick crosswalks.

Part of Main Street in Norman, OK has a brick median. It is used as a left turn lane. Main Street in Purcell, OK also has a brick median, which in this case is used for parking.

There are brick crosswalks in Brookside in Tulsa on Peoria.

Maybe it's an Okie thing.

NY 590 north of Titus Ave used to have something like this.

I have designed five-lane section of roadway with colored stamped-asphalt used in the "chicken lane" between intersections, that looks like bricks.  It is currently under construction.  The County (our client), is going forward with it as a test, to see if they want to implement the concept in more locations.

IIRC, AK 3 is like that from the Seward Meridian exit west to downtown Wasilla, on a segment that Alaska DOT&PF decided to improve but not freeway-ize like the segments to the east.

Starting to show up more & more in Maine. ME26 around  Gray comes to mind. Although they're not real bricks, just asphalt pressed into a brick-looking shape, and painted red...

Not in the median, but when Pennsylvania Ave. NW in D.C. between the Capitol and the White House was completely rehabbed just after the 2000 election, it got ugly faux brick crosswalks, only with reddish concrete with a brick pattern pressed on it soon after the concrete was poured.  (My office at the time, on 601 Pennsylvania Ave. NW had a great view of the construction work, and the Inaugural Parade after it was all done.)  One of the crosswalks got a noticeable tire track, when someone drove on it before the concrete had completely set.  That and the other crosswalks were replaced several years later with less-obviously-fake brick crosswalks.

They just put some in on Indigo Hill Rd at NH 9 in Somersworth, an an intersection that was just redone to accommodate a new CVS.  Looks like stamped asphalt painted a kinda-brickish red.

I've seen them in Maine also, the intersection of ME 91 and US 1 comes to mind.  Again, stamped asphalt painted red, except the paint is wearing off.  Here's a look from when the paint was still in decent shape:  http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=ME-91+%26+US-1,+York,+ME&sll=43.263884,-70.878663&sspn=0.007125,0.013797&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=U.S.+1+%26+Maine+91,+York,+Maine+03909&ll=43.150785,-70.673997&spn=0.007138,0.013797&z=16&layer=c&cbll=43.150732,-70.6739&panoid=fhAIBn2trH47Xx2WW56hhw&cbp=12,162.99,,0,5
