What is an Intersection Mural?

Just like it sounds, an intersection mural is a mural artwork, but painted in the intersection of a street, usually near a school, park, or community center to neighborhood identity, beautify neighborhoods, and bring attention to people walking, rolling, and biking to community destinations.
