See how these artists in India are helping tackle road accidents (photos)

Talented 3D artists, Saumya and Shakun, have painted a frightening driving scenario on an Indian street in an attempt to reduce traffic accidents. The street in Gujarat is infamous for road traffic accidents and in an attempt to encourage users to slow down, they created the illusion that the road is extending out over a deep body of water. It is thought to be the first of its kind in India.

One of the artists, Saumya Pandya Thakkar, uploaded the video to YouTube.
She said:

"We have created the artwork using different colors so that the fast drivers slow down while seeing this artwork at accident prone zone.The best look of the artwork will be visible from right side drivers, who normally move on fast speed."

"We worked hard for two days without wasting a minute to finish it as soon as possible. All our drowsiness vanished away after seeing the expressions of public while seeing this unique artwork on highway.

"We are amazed seeing our own power to create something which is first of its kind."
