Imagine you’re a truck driver. You’re coming up to a tunnel that might be too low for your truck to fit under, but you’re not sure. Suddenly, a gigantic red stop sign appears to obstruct the road in front of the tunnel entrance, giving you no doubt. Stop!

You’re not going to overlook that explicit warning

What is this sorcery? See the video above to find out more about how this remarkable sign is created with a instantaneously produced sheet of water and — you guessed it — frickin’ lasers
