Iceland tests ‘floating’ zebra crossing to slow down speeding drivers
A 3D zebra crossing has quite literally popped up in north-west Iceland’s Ísafjorður, catching the eye of web users from around the world.
But of course it’s just an optical illusion creating the effect that the zebra crossing is floating in mid-air instead of simply being painted on the road.
Local road painting company Vegamálun Gíh came up with the idea while looking for ways to slow drivers down and protect pedestrians. If it manages to encourage motorists to go easy on the gas, more are expected to be introduced around the town.

Wow! This is lovely.

But with time their eyes will get accustomed to it nd the speed will continue.

Good development.... Won't work here cuz Nija drivers are blind

Innovation at it peak.
If only our mindset can change in this country, then our lives would be better....

Nice

When are we ever gonna have this in Nigeria.... Yet dino milaye will visit Iceland and take pictures on this

God Bless Nigeria...won't say more than that

Nice

With the rate of progress our country is making
Nigeria will get there in 4859AD.

Sometimes I do ask myself if Nigeria is existing under the same planet with and all these countries. It is like their citizens live in the this world, while In Nigeria many people just exist.

Nice one. This one cant work in Nigeria.

Have read lots of interesting stories about iceland lately. A very nice Country.

The advancement of technology generally evokes a range of emotions in people from all walks of life.

nigerians no go still stop. Drive thru d illusion abeg

This one, na ebe ano .. It won't work in Naija

We have this same technologically innovation here in Etinan last month.





Pls nobody should quote me cos am not feeling fine now.

If it is in Nigeria,, the painting would be so badly done that it won't even create any optical illusion to the eyes of the drivers

nice

The type of illusion Nigerian politicians creates before election. It includes going to the market, frying akara, cutting ponmo, wearing school uniforms and even eating almajiri food.
After election then eye go clear.

Iceland with a population of nearly 500000 is doing this meanwhile the only optical illusion in my dear country is the jubril-Buhari illusion.

Nigeria will practically need real bricks that barricades for a while, else once they know it's an optical illusion then it's useless again.

They will even shatter the real bricks sef.

Especially those Lagos Danfo drivers

Shatter it and use it as road median join

It could cause accident.. There shouldn't be anything illusional on the road
