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.

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.

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.

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

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.
