    I was stuck at some train tracks in my area, and some of the graffiti on the trains left a gap around the safety information about weight limits and such.

    Not all of them did. Those that didn’t had to be painted over and re-written, but only the safety section. They left the rest alone.

    There was some mutual acceptance happening on both sides of the effort that warmed my heart.

      As a graffiti enthusiast, I can say that is definitely part of “the rules”. Graffiti has a code of conduct, depite it appearing like anarchy. Many new writers are ignorant of it. Don’t tag:

      • Personal property
      • Places of religion
      • Memorials
      • Shipping or cargo data (like those train cars)
      • Places that are kept clean/painted (it’s going to get covered frequently)
