Two ten year-olds from Massachusetts have just teamed up to do something that they hope will save lives, as they have designed a new 3D crosswalk!

Isa and Eric are two fourth graders at Brooks Elementary School in Medford, and they came up with this idea when the latter’s brother was nearly hit by a car. This inspired the two friends to create something that could serve as a 3D illusion that would better attract drivers’ attention.

The two 10 year-olds brought their idea to the Center for Citizenship and Social Responsibility, which is an organization for young people that they belong to. Nate Swain, an artist from the area, was then hired to make Isa and Eric’s idea a reality on the driveway of their school.

The crosswalk is actually an illusion that makes it look to drivers like it’s white lines are elevated up off the ground. The children are hoping that this will have drivers stopping at crosswalks more than they do now.

“I love it. It looks amazing. Exactly how I pictured it and more,” Isa said. “When you’re walking across you can tell it’s painted, but what we hope is, when you’re driving down, you’ll see it as 3D, three dimensional. So it looks real.”

The new crosswalk has been such a success that the city is planning to add similar ones at three other elementary schools in the area. We applaud Isa and Eric for coming up with such a unique idea that could save countless lives! Find out more about this in the video below.
