Dont you know you are one of the problems we are having in this country? Take for an instance,you are here on monday morning criticizing government and wasting your data when you should be on youtube watching how its made or on wikihow learning how to do new things
Go on crowfunding websites,you will see thousands of ideas brought up by Youths whereas our own youths cant even think!

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

It’s not a painting...but a 3D projection

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.

Please read this...
....
"A 3D-painted zebra crossing that provides an optical illusion of white blocks floating in the road has been trialled in Isafjorour in northwest Iceland in a bid to slow drivers down.... If the crossing successfully slows drivers down, more similar crossings may be painted around the town."
