Earlier this month, India bad ordered the removal of all speed breakers from highways, which are considered to be a danger to safety for high-speed vehicles. The visual illusions (幻象) are supposed to encourage drivers to slow down automatically. “We are trying out 3D paintings used as virtual speed breakers to avoid unnecessary requirements of speed breakers (减速带),” India's transport minister Nitin Gadkari tweeted. The Indian government may use 3D paintings as virtual (虚拟的) speed-breakers on major highways and roads, in an attempt to check speeding and careless driving, and eventually make its deadly roads a little safer. In the end, the new policy may be just one step towards improving road safety. Others also point out that India's decision does not consider the safety of a large walkers. ![]() However, critics argue that once divers know that these speed briers are visual illusions, they may ignore them. The artists say their motto is “to increase the attention of drivers”, and that the concept has been successfully tested in zones where accidents easily occur on a highway. In Ahmadabad for instance, two artists, mother and daughter have painted 3D crosswalks in the first few months of this year. India, cities such as Ahmadabad and Chennai have already experimented with 3D zebra crossings in the last one year. The technique has also been tried out in China to create floating 3D crossings. The use of visual illusions as speed breakers was first pioneered in the American city of Philadelphia in 2008, as part of a campaign against speeding motorist. 阅读理解 The Indian government may use 3D paintings as virtual (虚拟的) speed-breakers on major highways and roads, in an attempt to check speeding and careless driving, and eventually make its deadly roads a little safer. ![]()
