Painted 3D Pedestrian Crossings To Slow Traffic

Aside from agreeing that this is a super-ingenious idea, we’re also wondering if it had the desired effect or not? Did this 3D-painted pedestrian crossing really slow the town’s traffic down, or did it simply act as a major distraction and cause one too many emergency stops? This optical illusion of floating zebra stripes in the small fishing town of Ísafjörður popped up in 2017 in a bid to slow motorists down.

Pedestrians don’t miss out on all the fun either. Walking across the stripes has the effect of making a person feel like they’re literally walking on air. Pretty cool, right?
