Editing Zebra crossing (section)

=== "Three-dimensional" crossings ===
A number of countries have experimented with "three-dimensional" zebra crossings based on an [[optical illusion]]. The white stripes of the crossing appear to hover above the ground as though they were a physical barrier. Although intended to improve pedestrian safety on the crossings, they have also been popular with tourists who like to be photographed crossing them, appearing to hover above the ground. Such crossings can be found in Australia, Iceland, Malaysia, India, New Zealand and the United States.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-05-29/outback-town-3d-pedestrian-crossing/9809394|title=Outback town takes a 3D approach to slowing motorists at pedestrian crossings|last=Bhole|first=Aneeta|date=29 May 2018|work=[[ABC News (Australia)|ABC News]]|access-date=30 May 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180529085547/http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-05-29/outback-town-3d-pedestrian-crossing/9809394|archive-date=29 May 2018|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

Crossings can be combined with [[speed tables]] (i.e. raised sections of road designed to [[Traffic calming|physically slow traffic down]]) as an additional safety measure.
