Looks a little like an “after” picture of St. Pancake.

Excellent! Drivers soon will learn to ignore the illusions and little kids will be at risk. Why didn’t I think of that!?

Great way to train the brain that children are optical illusions.I trained my brain the same thing when I turned 50, albeit not when I'm driving...just the rest of the time.

That was the first thing I thought of. Some odd types are going to intentionally hit the “fake” child. I put fake in quotes because one day it won’t be.
To: Species8472
Yeah that’s an awful idea too. I’d totally swerve to miss that and crash into something.

Okay, who wants to start a pool for the headline to appear reporting that the Safe School Czar was caught chasing one of these fake kids?

Get people accustomed to running over children in the road.
Amazingly stupid.

Yep, what I was thinking, they will probably cause more than one accident to happen with this kind of BS.

My father took me to see that movie but we left because of a sex scene.

Why not use an optical illusion of a real speed bump?
The child one is twisted.

That is the most monumentally boneheaded idea I’ve heard in a long time. The first thing that came to mind was, “How many kids are going to die because of this idiocy?”

I hope David Dunne (quoted in the article) is held PERSONALLY liable for any injuries or property damage that arise from this idiotic idea.
The painting may be way cool, but the application is not much more than screaming “Fire” in a crowded theater - somebody’s gonna get hurt.

That’s pretty cool, but I wonder how many drivers have hit the wall or missed the turn because they were staring at the danged thing? LOL
