In the UK we have come up with a glowing road

The coating can replace street fonari



Maintaining the park paths well-lit to ensure the safety of cyclists and pedestrians at night, is quite expensive, but the British company «Pro-Teq» has developed a product that can drastically cut back on these costs. "Star Track" - is sprayed coating consisting of light-absorbing particles, which collects the ultraviolet rays coming from the sun during the day and glows brightly at night.

The coating also has an anti-slip effect and is waterproof and can be applied to various surfaces such as cement, wood and asphalt. "Star Track" has other advantages. Its anti-glare surface does not contribute to light pollution, which not only limits the view of the night sky, but it has a negative impact on local wildlife night due to constant light.

"Our coating works best for asphalt and concrete, especially cement, which is used as a base material for the tracks in the UK - said Neal Blackmore of" Pro-Teq ". - When its lifespan comes to an end, we can restore it with the help of our system, creating not only practical, but also decorative finish ».





However, it is not clear yet whether the "Star Track" to cover so well, to prevent crime, as do street lights. Neil Blackmore suggests that for large urban parks, where the probability of the above crimes, its technology can be used in conjunction with lights, if not completely replace the street lighting.
