Spain's first 3D zebra crossing forces drivers to brake
12/06/2018
A THREE-DIMENSIONAL zebra crossing that looks as though pedestrians are hopping across raised blocks is being painted in Almussafes (Valencia province).
The yellow-and-white crossing looks two-dimensional to those on foot using it, but for drivers approaching it, their instinct is to stop dead so as not to collide with an apparent barrier of nearly half a metre in height.
The first of its kind in Spain, it is aimed at curbing the common trend of driving straight over zebra crossings without looking and to cut the number of pedestrian accidents.
