Title: Elementary students design crosswalk to encourage drivers to slow down
Post by: cc on April 28, 2019, 02:42:42 PM
A pair of bright elementary school students have designed a 3D crosswalk to get drivers to slow down in their Massachusetts neighborhood, according to azfamily.com. (//https)



This multidimensional safety idea works like a speed bump. It appears to rise up off the street due to an optical illusion, forcing drivers to slow down in fear of messing up their vehicles.





According to azfamily.com, fourth-grade students from Brooks Elementary School in Medford, Isa and Eric, came up with the design to encourage drivers to "stop and think."

WBZ-TV says they got the idea after Eric's brother almost got hit by a car.



"We were thinking of a way we could do something to help make the street safer," Isa told WBZ-TV.



Working with the Center for Citizenship and Social Responsibility, (CCSR) it took a year before the two future engineers would get their project approved.
