Optical illusion video of 'vanishing bikes and cars' baffles social media but can you work it out?

An optical illusion video appearing to show cars and motorbikes disappearing has left people on social media stumped.

With traffic turning down a road, it appears that they are vanishing over a bridge, but not hitting the water below. Where are they going?

User @aw_273 uploaded the mind-melting clip with the caption: "i'm mad at how long this took me to understand."

Take a look below and see how long it takes you to work it out.

One Twitter user said: "It took me reading several comments and studying it for 2 minutes."

A puzzled punter said: "Have they found a gateway into a new dimension ?"

A confused commenter said: "I can’t believe how long that took me."

Well, did you work it out? Some were quick to solve the apparent clip of magic, adding: "The thing on the right is the roof of a building."

Another added: "It’s shot from the roof of a nearby building. Imagine standing there close to the edge catching a shot of the traffic below as it flows in the street next to the building. See it now?"
