Energy
efficiency is a big part of “going green”, and delivering electricity
to a long, lonely stretch of highway is not only a daunting dask- it’s
simply inefficient.
With the advancement of solar power we may
find better ways to bring electricity to rural areas, but a remote
highway generally has little use for light, and typically needs to be
lit up on the road itself more than the shoulders.
That’s what makes this highway in Oss, Netherlands so unique- the road markings glow-in-the-dark.
Studio Roosegaarde
spent two years developing the idea of integrating photo-luminescent
powder into the road paint, and their glowing highway innovation makes a
drive in the dark seem like a trip into the world of Tron.
