    Glow in the dark road unveiled in the Netherlands

    Glow in the dark road markings have been unveiled on a 500m stretch of highway in the Netherlands.

    The paint contains a "photo-luminising" powder that charges up in the daytime and slowly releases a green glow at night, doing away with the need for streetlights.

    Interactive artist Daan Roosegaarde teamed up with Dutch civil engineering firm Heijmans to work on the idea.

    Saw this on CarThrottle, looks cool. Still a need for a certain amount of lighting to keep the view clear for wildlife and brake downs

    Amazing how we've been sending people to space since the 60s but it takes until now to do something so simple yet effective.
