First Glow-In-the-Dark Road Debuts In Netherlands
An anonymous reader writes "A 500 meter (0.3 mile) stretch of road in the Netherlands has opened without the standard crop of streetlights lining its perimeter. The streetlights are believed to be unnecessary since the road markings were painted on with a mix of photo-luminescent powder, which absorbs sunlight during the day and radiates a portion of that energy back at night. Whether the modified road paint can withstand harsh weather or even provide sufficient lighting given insufficient exposure to sunlight during the day remains to be seen. The project was orchestrated by Studio Roosegaarde, which in the future plans to implement weather-sensitive road markings that would inform drivers when outside temperatures drop or rise above certain levels."
You took too much, man...
Thisis The Netherlands... I don't think they have rock faces. Or hills. Or topology generally.
Well , just paint the animals with reflective color, too. How hard is that ? C'mon man, some common sense.
Idiot. You'll have to repaint them every time they moult or breed.
Genetically engineer them to glow in the dark and they'll reproduce themselves.
