Iceland Town Paints Ingenious 3D Optical Illusion Pedestrian Crossing In Order To Slow Down Traffic

The town of Ísafjörður in northern Iceland has taken a creative step to slow down traffic by painting a pedestrian crossing with bright white lines that appear to jump right off the ground with a 3D illusion.

It is entirely possible that the Icelandic city got the idea from mechanical engineer Shivrama Krishna, who originally installed hand-painted 3D traffic lines in his village of Karimnagar in Southern India.
