New 3D pedestrian crossings have been created in central Tauranga.
Tauranga City Council transportation manager Martin Parkes said the 3D crossings were being painted in a busy pedestrian area on The Strand and Hamilton St.
"The 3D graphics encourage drivers to slow down, as they are more visually engaging than a standard pedestrian crossing," Parkes said.
"They are also a bit of fun."
