Iceland is all about ingenious solutions. How do you keep the drivers alert and entertain the pedestrians at the same time? A small fishing town in the northwest of Iceland found a solution. A 3D crosswalk was painted there and its visual effect is stunning! Pedestrians get the feeling of hovering above the ground, while drivers slow down thinking something is obstructing the road. Time will show if this idea really helps reduce the number of accidents, but for now, it’s definitely a work of art right on the ground.
