An illusion designed to slow traffic has appeared in a small Icelandic fishing town. The pedestrian crossing a so-called “3D Crosswalk” creates the illusion of white blocks floating in the air over the roadway.
The intention is to make motorists slow down.
The 3D crossing was first tried out in New Delhi, India last year and is now in several countries including South Africa, China and Kyrgyzstan.
The idea as floated in Iceland in September and it took the company behind it a few weeks to get approval from the airport and the police.
