It's a good try, the only problem is that in most parts of the world the not continuous line means that you CAN pass the vehicle in front of you. You CAN"T if the line is continuous...

Doing great work is hard, criticize others is way easier.

if they don't want you cutting, make it a SOLID line.

I have the vague suspicion that this one, too, is photochopped. If so, what's with all these indian agencies?

There are a few things in the image that don't visually add up, which is why I figger it's done with PS. Not 100% this time, but ...

Hmm, good to see. Still looks a little funny in the video like it's just a cutout laid on the ground.
Almost looks like it works too as everyone is swerving to hit the camera guy.
Still not convinced this was implemented. Moreso after that video.

Definitely "Photoshopped"

My humble opinion

Just my humble opinion

It doesn't work at all, because if you say don't with the cutting line, then you contradict the message because the cutting line in road markings means its ok to pass, but if you made the line unbroken, then it would no longer visually represent a cutting line.

Shame because it looks good.
