Transportation has always been quite an issue in our country, and I’m not just talking about the traffic. There is almost always news of road accidents happening all around and even social media is peppered with dashcam videos of speedy drivers and disobedient pedestrians. With these issues at hand, sometimes officials would have to take creative measures to attend to such needs.

Netizen Adrian Carreon was one of the first people to spot this “floating pedestrian lane.” He took a video and shared it on social media. Take a look:
Adrian Carreon shared that he was surprised to see the pedestrian crossing floating, but it didn’t take too long for him to realize that it was only a painting. He shared that this “floating pedestrian lane” could be found near Circuit Makati.
