Someone painted a Pacman on the road eating lines

Pac Man

It funny you mentioned that painting, my wife and I were driving down Rt50 on Saturday taking the Rt 3 exit and she noticed it. Its was pretty funny to see.

Simpsons did it, Simpsons did it!

That was done here in Minnesota about 6 years ago, and reapplied the following summer (articles below), it was all over the intralwebs. I wonder if it's still there...

Well... I was going to post a picture I took last week while on vacation but it's on my camera not my phone apparently.

Anyway... let's just say I located a pacman petroglyph in New Mexico.
 
Back in the 80s, someone had painted a giant pac-man on a rail bridge in Ellicottville NY. Its been faded away now since the early 2000s.
 
I wonder if its on google maps?

Yep, just start street view from this coordinate (cant make out on aerial photos): 45.145, -93.837318 They are really faded so the pictures must be pretty new from street view.

However, Bing maps actually have enough detail to see them in aerial / birds eye view very clearly at lowest 4 levels of zoom and they are not faded so taken closer to 2007

However neither one shows the yellow pacman as far as I can see.

Thanks for the link. Too bad there is not a better resolution on the map. Looks like there are 1 mile or so of dots. Maybe there is a reason for the dots..

Yep...MN DOT put them there with signs stating to keep 2 dots between you and the car in front of you. There apparently were lots of rear end accidents in that stretch and it helped reduce them.
 
Looked what showed up on a mailbox in Bowie, Md also.. What is going on?? Also another pacman showed up in Bowie too.
