Officials in West Vancouver, Canada, apparently aren't satisfied with the driver-slowing properties of traditional speed bumps. On Tuesday, the town unveiled a new way to persuade motorists to ease off the gas pedal in the vicinity of the École Pauline Johnson Elementary School: a 2-D image of a child playing, creating the illusion that the approaching driver will soon blast into a child.
According to Discover magazine, the pavement painting appears to rise up as the driver gets closer to it, reaching full 3-D realism at around 100 feet: "Its designers created the image to give drivers who travel at the street's recommended 18 miles per hour (30 km per hour) enough time to stop before hitting Pavement Patty -- acknowledging the spectacle before they continue to safely roll over her."
I almost cut my hair, it happened just the other day.
It was gettin' kinda long, I could've said it was in my way.
But I didn't and I wonder why, I feel like letting my freak flag fly
Those crazy canucks! That would get painted over in 10 minutes in any respectable American city.
I love mankind; it's people I can't stand.

I read somewhere else that it costs $15,000 a day to create that hologram.
They could just put a manneqin on a zip line and run it across the street when a car comes.

Must be the hockey. When I was in high school we'd show up to morning hockey practices stoned. We suffered through the wind sprints but then we felt like Bobby Orr during the drills. It was all speed and quick cuts and that nice cold air to soothe raw windpipes. For all I know we were screwing up the drills but it sure seemed like we were on our game.

Cool. How long before they start using that technology at the gun range?

"It's O.K. to be freaked out when it's over. But if you weren't diggin it at least a little bit when it was going down then you're in the wrong fucking place."
I was thinking the same thing....we could have a burnout contest....vintage mustang, vs vintage vette....LOLOriginally Posted by Wide
Anyway, I think this is a horrible idea. Once people get used to seeing a kid in front of their car, what makes they pay attention if a rel kid runs out into the road?
I let my mind wander.......It never came back
