But as Trylla tells Quartz, he has noticed a difference: “What is clear so far is that it has received a lot of attention and people are for sure driving differently over this crossing, even if they’re eventually getting used to seeing it. So in that way, I would say that it’s a success so far.”

My old Art tutor would paint the most realistic little pairs of scissors, 'hanging' from nails on the classroom cupboard doors... then delight in asking pupils to "Fetch me a small pair of scissors, please"

Surely this illusion will only work on a one-way street?

edit: just read article, disregard dopey question above.

Yeah, but if you're looking at it from the other side, then you're on the wrong side of the road. Tell me when you're taking your 'Class C' driving tutorial... so I can stay in

Edit: too late
