The village where 3D zebra crossings slow down cars

This 3D zebra crossing is the future of road safety. It’s currently being trialled in Ísafjörður, 

Iceland, and looks brilliant. 



But it’s not just 

about looking cool, the 3D effect also makes it easier for drivers to see the crossing. 

Ralf Trylla, who is 

the Icelandic environmental commissioner, pushed through the idea after seeing a similar 

optical illusion drawn in New Delhi, India. Street painting firm Vegmálun GÍH then brought the 

concept to life. The 

design, which took a few weeks to complete, makes it appear as if the zebra crossing is 

shifting depending where you observe it from. From above the white lines look like columns 

but at ground level they look like they’re hovering.
