With 3D Zebra Crosswalk, This Town In Iceland Found The Perfect Way To Slow Down Speeding Cars
Thursday, February 14, 2019 IST
In the tiny fishing town of Ísafjörður, Iceland, an excellent development in road safety has just popped up – almost literally. A new pedestrian crossing has been painted which appears to be 3D by way of a cleverly-detailed optical illusion.
Not only does this innovative design give foot-travelers the feeling of walking on air, but it also gets the attention of drivers, who'll make sure to slow down their speed when they spot the seemingly floating ‘zebra stripes.’
Scroll down to see fascinating photos of the installment taken by Ágúst G. Atlason of Gústi Productions.
