Well this 'N' isn't actually for negative, but it is an indicator of something that possibly starts with the letter 'N'.Anyway, this picture reflects the idea of both using a process of applying type that is often looked down upon & the effectiveness of the lasting mark.
First, spray painted lettering on street sides is often considered a bad thing, like graffiti, even though graffiti is sometimes considered as art. Yet this process was effective in leaving a lasting mark (or partially lasting mark because it does bleed onto the grass, but the 'N' is still recognizable). Second, this yellow painted 'N' was intentionally made to mark a significant spot & was also meant to be communicated to someone(s) specific.
How do you know that it isn't a Z? Or what if it just three lines that happen to come together? Interesting! I think this mark is when the Boy Scouts come around and drill the holes in the sidewalk for the flags. Maybe?
