Weirdly placed double yellow lines have been dubbed the “giant manhood of Kemp Town”. A Tripadvisor page has been set up for the lines in Ardingly Street, Brighton , which caused a stir on social media after they were recently repainted by council contractors. Brighton and Hove City Council admitted its contractor "did not cut corners" when drawing the lines near a bike hangar in the street.
A review on TripAdvisor said the lines are “amazing powerful artwork” and suggested they could be the work of Banksy. “Tucked away in a Kemp Town backstreet behind the Brighton seafront is this open-air art gallery,” said the review. “Unlike many other galleries it isn’t pretentious and you don’t have to whisper all the time.
True there’s only one main exhibit but what an exhibit. “The artist is sadly unknown, some say it’s Banksy but that’s unlikely, some say it’s a roadworker who often paints similar works but usually in straight form and has broken the rules to create this ‘chaos in uniformity’ piece which has influences of Dadism. “A must-see.
” TripAdvisor has listed the lines as number 124 of 150 things to do in Brighton. Users on Facebook have been poking fun at the lines. One said: "Was this painted after the annual staff party?" Another added: "I bet some doofus will still park there.
" Resident Louise Yates, 61, said she immediately thought of Banksy's Yellow Lines Flower Painter when she saw the lines, which the famous street artist painted in .
