A Town in Iceland Made an Optical Illusion Crosswalk to Slow Traffic

A Town in Iceland Made an Optical Illusion Crosswalk to Slow Traffic

We’re turning into those angry old men who shake their fists at cars flying by these days. Okay, not all the time, we love speed as much as the next guy, but specifically when there’s a crosswalk present. We’re all for ways to get people to slow down at such a point so they don’t hurt someone. Ísafjör∂ur (pronounced: “????”), a town in northern Iceland, came up with a clever way to get drivers to pay attention. The town created a crosswalk that appears 3D. Take a look. It will mess with your head. Not only does it look cool, but it should demand some attention from approaching vehicles.
