Police in Russia have come up with a novel way to slow down traffic in one of the country's busiest roads - they use a cardboard cut out of Brad Pitt.
Russian traffic police have erected cut outs of the Fight Club actor in most dangerous intersection of Omsk, reports The Press Association.
Strangely, the bizarre ploy seems to have worked. Motorists are so so stunned to see the 'actor' they slow down to get another look.
The offical who came up with the idea, Dmitry Ziryanov, said, "(He) is kind of like a colleague for us."
