Walking on Air
In an effort to get drivers to slow down at an intersection, the city of Ísafjörður, Iceland, decided to use a trompe l’oeil painting to potentially fool drivers behind the wheel. The painting of a pedestrian crossing area was designed so that it appears to be floating a few inches over the pavement. The “trick” only works when viewed from this angle, but I wonder how many drivers have pumped their brakes as they approach this unique intersection?

Thanks Brad, I’d been searching for a decent image of this crossing illusion for some time now. This one is superb!
No problem!
