3D zebra crossings turn heads in Barishal

From a distance, they look like solid obstacles on the road, but closer inspection reveals them to be mere optical illusions of three-dimensional paintings. The newly-painted 3D zebra crossings are the latest road safety initiative taken by Barishal City Corporation, the first of its kind in Bangladesh. BCC Mayor Serniabat Sadiq Abdullah inaugurated the work on Friday. According BCC sources, initially there will be 3D zebra crossings at five intersections: Zilla School-Barishal Club-Police Line, Kakoli, Bibir Pukur, Jailkhana, and Amtala.
