The first project of the ‘Smart’ Highway, Glowing Lines, has opened in Oss, the Netherlands. Glowing Lines is a section of highway that is lined with solar-powered lines that increase visibility and safety. The lines were painted with a special photo-luminescent paint that charges during the day and glows at night.
Future plans for the ‘Smart’ Highway include glowing snowflakes when road conditions become icy, special powered electric lanes that can charge electric cars, and traffic lights that illuminate only when traffic is passing.
