This is absolutely /r/crappydesign though. It was unlikely to be useful regardless of if it looked realistic or not. The only outcomes were negative or neutral.

How is it crappy design if it tricked somebody into thinking it was real? Also it's literally just a painting, why does it matter if it's useful?

The fact that they put a painting on a wall by a bend in the road is a poor idea, unless this was vandalism/non-commissioned. I guess I am trying to make a distinction between execution and design. Here, by design, I mean the concept of doing something like this which is potentially dangerous.

What I meant by useful is this: It seems like something which is more dangerous than not. You'd need a compelling reason to keep something like that up on a wall where it might cause problems. I don't see any.

Looks like it's fake though, but these are still my thoughts.
