Australia Paints Highway With Glow in the Dark Paint to make driving Safer

Australian company Tarmac Linemarking, in collaboration with OmniGrip and Vic Roads, completed a “trial run” of new photoluminescent linemarkings in May and its photos are now making rounds on social media. The ‘smarter path’ line markings use the natural science of photoluminescence – similar to the process used in glow-in-the-dark childrens’ stickers, toys or watches. When it’s dark, the coating emits light it has absorbed and stored through the day, so that the lines and pavement markings can be better seen.

The coating emits light absorbed and saved throughout the day and when it’s dark, the road ways markings could be witness better.
