Pilon out, brick in
Boulevard du Jubilé, 1080, Brussels Some earlier posts (first one, second post, third post, fourth post)depict the use of orange rubber pilons to prevent cars from parking in front of a private garage.

Pilon Party update
Small update since the last post on these plastic re-appropriation tools: where I previously said the goal of the 2nd added pilon was not clear, because the rope was too short, I have to correct: The owner has replaced the short rope with a longer one, so it now effectively stretches over the parking place. more…
Pilon party
Boulevard du Jubilé, corner Leopold II Laan A third pilon has appeared on this spot.

Froissart straat / Schuman plein Found on: http://www.loughrigg.org/belgium/ In the absence of a proper street name sign, somebody put up this substitute!
