Description

Graffiti is a recurring problem across the Strategic Road Network (SRN) that often reappears within weeks of removal. People are determined to graffiti; they will put themselves in physical danger over 'live' operating motorways for example. Highways England has experimented with intentionally planting spiky bushes in key entry points to prevent access to motorway structures, but these are quickly removed or trampled by graffiti 'artists' to gain access. Little work has been done to understand graffiti 'artists' or their motivations in the same way as it has been done to understand litterers on the network. In terms of preventing graffiti, behavioural change may play as big a part as advanced anti-graffiti chemical agents.
