The fishing town of Ísafjörður, Iceland developed a creative new way to improve road safety, they painted a 3D illusion instead of a standard crosswalk.
The incredible optical illusion is designed specifically to be viewed from oncoming traffic. The zebra stripe crosswalk appears to float in mid air a foot above the pavement.
Icelandic environmental commissioner Ralf Trylla got the idea after seeing a similar project in New Delhi, India. He reached out to the street painting company Vegmálun GÍH to make his idea a reality.
Take a closer look at this awesome crosswalk in the video below.
Would you like to see one of these in your home town?
