SEVERNY ISLAND, RUSSIA — A Russian village has come up with a rather interesting way to get drivers to slow down at a crosswalk — have topless women stand around it. <br /> <br />Women dressed in thigh-high boots and not much else have been called up for duty in Severny, a village on an island in the Arctic Ocean, in a bid to get drivers to reduce speeds at a pedestrian crossing prone to accidents, according to the Mirror. <br /> <br />The idea was first tried in Nizhny Novgorod back in 2013, but has been brought back as part of a way to reduce the 30,000 deaths a year that occur in Russia due to traffic accidents, the Sun reported. <br /> <br />According to road safety campaign Avtodrizhenia, a majority of the speeders are men, and surprisingly they happened to slow down when they drove by the bare-chested brunettes. <br /> <br />The women held speed limit signs of 60 and 40 kilometers per hour in video posted by Ruptly. <br /> <br />Knock on wood, there have been no reports of accidents reported yet due to distracted drivers. <br /> <br />Older citizens who use the crosswalk have even given a thumbs up to the controversial campaign.
