Oh my.
I can only imagine the number of rear end collisions as people brake hard when they see these.
Damn buggers who don't keep safe following distances.

Can`t see how this will work
me too. Maybe I need some caffeine to help me see what others see...
Exactly. It's going to work only the first time. 77 subsequent times you just speed through.Lets say you see the full 3D effect, the first time you see this and realize no magic thus this cannot happen or you see the car in front of you drive over this you will ignore the effect after initial encounter
Better to make real potholes
The quiet fishing town of Ísafjörður, Iceland now has one of the snazzier pedestrian crosswalks you’re likely to encounter: a traditional set of white zebra-stripes painted to appear three dimensional. 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. See more in Iceland Magazine.
Imagine driving into a real object in the road thinking it was only an optical illusion.Imagine you slowed down or stopped for one of those only to promptly get rear ended by someone not keep a safe following distance. He's to blame, but you sit with lifelong neck pain and insurance headaches.
I often get these on fixed cameras on the highways. The speed limit is 120, but when poeple see them they hit the brakes hard and do 60 even though they were well in the speed limit.
