A road safety campaign in Russia has come up with an inventive way to force drivers to slow down - by using topless women to carry speed limit signs.
The scheme involves near naked women parading along the side of the road at accident blackspots.
A trial showed that the idea significantly slowed traffic near a pedestrian crossing in Severny village, in the central Nizhny Novgorod region.

Don't see how this will reduce the number of accidents, but I'm not going to complain about topless good looking women.

As is usual, Russia copies something from another country:

It's not an "old" idea but it has been used for a while now in other countries.

I thank you for your research. LOL at that taxi driver and the guy out of his car causing a back up.

Old story from years ago, rehashed. Just like the media to drop the ball.

I do not find anywhere in the article where Russia claimed they originated the idea.

All countries borrow ideas from each other, and see what works and what does not work.
