It Is A Common Problem,

the world over,

 how do you get motorists to slow down or stop at pedestrian crossings?

 well the quiet fishing town of Ísafjörður, in Iceland, may now have the answer, a three dimensional zebra crossing, the piece was created last month as part of a collaboration between street painting firm Vegi GÍH and the city’s environmental commissioner Ralf Trylla, 

the city hopes the piece serves both as an artwork and as a stronger visual cue that convinces motorists to slow at the crosswalk, 

you can see more of how the crossing was painted in the Iceland Magazine, of course motorist will soon know that the crossing is just 2D, so maybe one dark night replace the crossing with real concrete blocks, or would that be cruel?
