New South Wales will become the second Australian state to trial glow-in-the-dark road markings, as governments look to curb the nation’s rising road toll. The NSW Government will install photoluminescent line markings on the 3km-long Bulli Pass – a road to the north of Wollongong which features a steep incline/descent – for six months, assessing the ‘Glow Roads’ for a potential statewide rollout. A glow-in-the-dark road sign will also be installed.
” The paint formula used in ‘Glow Roads’ works by absorbing sunlight during the day which is then stored and used to light up the markings at night. Glow Roads are claimed to “provide a safe alternative at sites where street lighting is not practical.” “This initiative offers an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly solution on regional roads with limited or non-existent street lighting,” said Jenny Aitchison, Regional Transport and Roads Minister, Roads Online reports.
