3D Illusion To Slow Down Traffic

Preventable, BCAA Traffic Safety Foundation, and the District of West Vancouver have launched a 3D illusion geared to make drivers slow down at high-risk intersections.

An optical illusion of a little girl chasing a ball has been installed.
The 3D illusion rises up gradually from about 100 feet away and fades away by the time a driver approaches.

Warning signs leading up to the illusion were installed to prepare drivers.
The goal is to draw attention to the risk of children running onto the road.
