Australia has begun testing glow-in-the-dark road markings that use photoluminescent technology. These markings absorb solar energy during the day and emit a visible glow at night, functioning similarly to glow sticks. The goal is to enhance nighttime visibility, especially on rural roads without streetlights. ✅ Key Facts: The project is part of Victoria’s road safety trials supported by the Department of Transport and Planning. These lines are coated with photoluminescent pigments that require no electricity, making them eco-friendly. The trial aims to improve night driving safety, especially in foggy or low-light areas. Similar trials have been seen in the Netherlands and Japan.
