Would 3D Crosswalks keep pedestrians safe?

In their continuing efforts to improve pedestrian safety throughout Cincinnati, City Council will consider adding "3D crosswalks" outside targeted Cincinnati Public School campuses. Councilman Jeff Pastor introduced a motion Wednesday to study the feasibility of installing the crosswalks. In the motion, Pastor called them "inventive" and proposed that they be piloted at "school crosswalks that are located among some of our more dangerous school crossings." They're called "3D crosswalks" because of how they are painted, to simulate a raised speed hump surface at the location of the crossing.
