In Ãsafjörður, Iceland, a creatively designed crosswalk features an optical illusion that appears to float above the pavement, significantly altering the behavior of drivers and pedestrians. This innovative project, developed by local artists and city planners, aims to enhance pedestrian visibility while naturally encouraging drivers to slow down. The design relies on complex visual perception principles and meticulous calculations to maintain the illusion from various angles, highlighting a new approach to urban planning that emphasizes creativity over conventional traffic control methods.
Local artists and city planners collaborated to reimagine a basic road feature, transforming a mundane crosswalk into an optical illusion that influences driver behavior.
The optical illusion created by the crosswalk causes drivers to hesitate, helping to reduce speed and improve pedestrian visibility without relying on speed bumps.
