Glowing Lines uses photo-luminescent paint to mark out the edges of the road, and is the first of five concepts to be realised from Dutch designer Daan Roosegaarde's Smart Highway project – designed to make highways safer while saving money and energy.


Developed with infrastructure firm Heijmans, the paint absorbs solar energy during the day then illuminates at night.



"Here the landscape becomes an experience of light and information," said Studio Roosegaarde in a statement. "As a result this increases visibility and safety."

1. It will be interesting to see how it weathers with time & use.

Also note that it can't completely replace the alternative markings as this method
is more vulnerable to snow cover (and snow-ploughs!).

It is still an excellent idea for the right situation so will be interested to see how
it gets on over the long term.
