Florida Uses Magic to Slow Drivers Down

Friday, 13 September 2013 | by Pat's Picks

In a bid to get their drivers to slow down, the state of Florida has turned to magic, reports the Sun Sentinel this morning. The state is installing optical illusions on the road in the form of hash marks like those you might see on a football field. The idea is that when the marks appear at gradually closer intervals, drivers get the sense that they are driving faster than they really are and will (hopefully) tap the breaks.
