@Showroom7561 @poVoq This kind of stuff is a great option to force compliance.

In Japan I saw they put grids of lights down on the ground at road works. The lights move towards the driver in waves creating illusion of them moving much faster which cause them to ease back in accelerator. Genius!

Locals get used to whatever they encounter regularly. I know which humps are rough & which I can cruise over on my regular route.
Also, distracting drivers as they approach a pedestrian crossing is a really bad idea. This optical illusion will distract drivers from checking for approaching pedestrians.
