KCK traffic engineer is testing out ‘three-dimensional crossing’ in this neighborhood
This is really cool, I hope its successful.
Lideana Laboy, a city traffic engineer for the Public Works Department, said she’s worked on many traffic safety projects in the past seven years, but the three-dimensional crosswalk is something the city is experimenting with for the first time. Laboy said it was modeled after a crosswalk in Iceland (an article by Iceland Magazine specifically states it’s located in the northwest Icelandic town, Ísafjörður).
The crosswalk was added last Friday in the Northridge at Piper Estates neighborhood in Kansas City, Kan., the neighborhood that’s serving as a “test location” for the city’s first three-dimensional crosswalk. Commuters heading north on Northridge Drive can see it near Augusta Drive.

That's pretty realistic. It might bother drivers and pedestrians both with the latter trying to jump from block to block.TrolliKC wrote: ↑Wed Nov 21, 2018 9:37 am KCK traffic engineer is testing out ‘three-dimensional crossing’ in this neighborhood
