This makes the second weekend in a row that street racers have damaged the iconic rainbow crosswalks in midtown Atlanta.
The racers left tire burn marks after doing doughnuts at the popular intersection overnight Saturday.
Video surveillance posted to social media shows two black cars doing doughnuts and burning out in the center of the intersection crossing 10th Street and Piedmont Avenue.
Traffic was held up, and a crowd surrounded the intersection as several bystanders filmed the incident with their cellphones, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
Atlanta police were called but arrived a little too late. The racers were gone, police said.
“The rainbow crosswalks have once again been left with rubber skid marks from drag racers,” the Midtown Neighbors’ Association wrote in an Instagram story. “This is dangerous and the damage is hurtful to our community. A flagrant act of selfishness in a space so important to us all.”
The association asked followers not to share any videos depicting the street racers as “we understand they do it for the viral notoriety.”
“We are committed to ensuring it is cleaned up every time,” the association added.
Last Sunday, street racers left the same marks on the crosswalks, and Atlanta Department of Transportation workers were called out to remove the marks.
Atlanta police have since offered a $2,000 reward for information on the street racers who damaged the rainbow crosswalks.
