Three men in Montreal stopped traffic to make the cross walk at Ontario St. and Chambly St. safer and more visible.

Pierre Lessard-Blais uploaded the video to Facebook on May 2, showing the crosswalk crusaders taking to the street with cans of yellow spray paint. A third man holds up oncoming cars, making sure any vehicles do not strike the painters.

Comments on the video are mostly supportive of the men’s street safety act. It has been viewed over 25,000 times and has received over 200 shares as of Tuesday.
