    Ok but that’s just evil.

    They painted it at a T junction, you can see there’s a road coming from the opposite direction, and at night, anybody who’s not local could have fallen for that and just assumed it was normal crossroads.

    There’s also barely, if any, sidewalk in front of the painting, that could at least have alerted the driver.

    It’s pure luck that the guy wasn’t driving fast, or there’d be dead bodies because of this stupid prank. This needs jail time, even if suspended.

      At night, I hope you drive with your lights on and see that the light somehow can not make it through the entry of the tunnel.

      It looks like a cartoon tunnel that no one should be fooled by unless they were severely distracted or impaired. The lack of signage should make it obvious.

        Lotta party poopers in these comments. I’m with you. Many indicators this is a flat, painted picture if a driver is paying attention and going appropriate speeds.

        Tesla’s on “full” ““auto”” “”“pilot”“” will plow right into what looks like a road. Mike or Mark Robber tested various self driving cars against a painted curtain with boxes behind it, Tesla’s not only failed to stop, they would disengage auto-pilot a split second before colliding, so doesn’t count as auto failure.

          Tesla plows into emergency vehicles with lights flashing, it also tries to run into regular walls on occasion. It’s hardly relevant to anything about driving skills.

            You would think differently if you were inside one of those emergency vehicles, or in front of one of those regular walls.
