Yay! Let's trick people and fuck with them while they're operating heavy machinery!

Reminds me of this crossing guard that worked for years near me. He would wave at every car passing by with this fluttering rapid pace open and close.. for hours, every car. Absolute disney shit. Changing directions he would wave. Hours without a second of stopping. The most disney thing you'd ever seen. Except his hand has a hazard triangle on the palm of his glove and it immediately grabs your attention.

Creating all kinds of erratic breaking as people react to it and loss of focus on the road. If a kid ran in front of my car while I was distracted by that shit I would 100% run them over. And we have a distraction like this going on near a school zone with low discipline kids running into the street multiple times a week.

One time he actually needed to stop cars and everyone blew past him. I was the one car that stopped. Which means I was there to talk to him. He exclaimed out loud basically "what the fuck is wrong with people." in response to the people who didn't stop. BTW he sounded less faggy than I envisioned which was a shock. I figured he I might already have a little report with him considering I was the one who stopped so maybe he would listen.

I said, maybe it has something to do with your waving. And he said back pointing to his glove, yeah because of the triangle on the glove in an annoyed way. Which means he knew the whole fucking time what he was doing and did it anyway. I thought this was a dementia'd faggy old guy oblivious to what he was doing they let be a crossing guard for far too long. Nope. I drove away understanding less than I did going in.

This will work the first time. Then you've cried wolf and you've got people driving through everything.

"Lookout there's something in the road!"
"It's ok, honey, that's just one of those illusions"
SMASH

They should do this in SW Florida on US19 with optical illusions of people crossing the road.

That reminds me of when they put poison in alcohol during prohibition or when they put bleach in food a group illegally made for the homeless.

If you really want people to stop jay walking make it so the cars don't stop. If you want fewer people to die making the trek across the border start shooting people who cross it.

That's pretty cool
Where I live they can't even paint straight lane lines and the arrows in the left turn lanes look like they were made with white duct tape

Seems legally indefensible. The purpose is clearly to trick drivers into seeing objects on the pavement that aren't actually there. What happens when someone swerves to avoid the "obstruction" they've been tricked into seeing?
