3D Zebra Crosswalk To Slow Down Speeding CarsIn the small fishing town of Ísafjörður, Iceland, an exciting development in pedestrian crossing safety has just popped up – almost literally
@Showroom7561@poVoq This kind of stuff is a great option to force compliance.
In Japan I saw they put grids of lights down on the ground at road works. The lights move towards the driver in waves creating illusion of them moving much faster which cause them to ease back in accelerator. Genius!

Locals get used to whatever they encounter regularly. I know which humps are rough & which I can cruise over on my regular route.
Also, distracting drivers as they approach a pedestrian crossing is a really bad idea. This optical illusion will distract drivers from checking for approaching pedestrians.
That sounds like an inevitable future, if we keep allowing these monster trucks on the road. The areas where we have speed bumps around here seem to be effective (from what I observe), but then it’s the people illegally parking in the bike lanes that end up being the real hazard.
@Showroom7561 @poVoq Speed bumps are becomming less effective due to the proliferation of off-road spec SUVs and Trucks as the family driver.
I used to live right opposite one and regularly saw these vehicles barrel over it at 3x the speed limit without the slightest hesitation.

Can we just remove cars already?
