Glow-in-the-dark roads make debut in Netherlands

There has been talk about magnetic sensors in the roads here.

cool

almost like digital driving

we could get outta the car at night for a quick

No kidding!

This is the first I heard about this. It would be interesting to have glow in the dark street lines! I'm not a huge fan of driving at night, but this would make it easier.

Much thanks for the pin

Nice to see my country in the news with something positive.

I think the glow-in-the-dark lines on the road are cool

but not the big ass snow flakes all over the f'kin , that just looks gay

To a point anyway. We could have to do this.

Lol, I wonder what else they will have aside from the snowflakes. If it's raining or due to rain will there be water drops glowing on the road?

I think it's pretty cool

Brilliant, I still remember the original "cats eyes" road studs from when I started driving, they actually worked tends times better when compared to todays reflective studs that have replaced them, driving down a road and being able to see far into the distance made driving so much nicer at night..

I would love to see these glow in dark ones, I'd bet they would be as good if not better than proper cats, for one thing you would not have to drive over them to clean them

The original ones where glass balls in a brass tube with a rubber edge, the tube would fill with water and the glass ball depressed into the tube when you drove over them cleaning them, such an elegant and simple design to be replaced by a little bit of crappy reflective plastic, so I for one can't wait to see glow in the dark roads..

too many crazy ideas like snowflakes or raindrops would mess with my shroom trips

If that is all legit, it is very sweet tech.

But unfortunately, 20 years away USA time.

You raise a good point actually...imagine all the drunk drivers on the road as it is glowing with lines and symbols...hmmm. I suppose it could be extremely distracting for even some sober drivers.

cgi.....great.....
real pictures of the actual glow in the dark roads??

the UK needs glow in the dark pot holes....

Omg, lmao!! We need glow in the dark pot holes here too!!

Fantastic idea!

I could not love this more!! Thank you!!!

I'm concerned about how our brain, especially at night and when we are more tired, will work on such a road. My concern is that drivers will lean towards hugging the lines. Not only that, some drowsy drivers may only focus on the line. And not what is in the road in front of them.

I had to do it......

You're right and I didn't even think of this until the AC above joked about trippin'. But this could certainly be an issue.

I guess I'm looking at it like this...there are a ton of distractions in our current, daily lives while we are on the road driving. Dip shits are gonna dip shit whether their roads are glowing or their BFF sent them a text message (unfortunately). So I would support this.

I wanna Tron cycle!

Ladies would dig me if I had that thing. I'd wear a red scarf flapping in the wind while reading passages from e.e. cummings.
