Glow-In-The-Dark Roads Make Debut In The Netherlands

Light-absorbing glow-in-the-dark road markings have replaced streetlights on a 500m stretch of highway in the Netherlands. Studio Roosegaarde promised the design back in 2012, and after cutting through rather a lot of government red tape we can finally see the finished product.

One Dutch news report said, 'It looks like you are driving through a fairytale,' which pretty much sums up this extraordinary project. The design studio like to bring technology and design to the real world, with practical and beautiful results. Here's a video about the Smart Highway.
