Road Safety Markings that will Glow in Dark

Driving at night may be difficult, especially when the weather is less
than ideal. Seeing the road lines, for example, can be lifesaving in severe
fog. That is why, even in perfect conditions, unmarked roads are intrinsically
more dangerous.
The way to avoiding nighttime traffic accidents is to make road markings
more visible. Photoluminescent paint, similar to that used on military watch
hands, can be used to decorate them.
The paint will be put on specific routes, including glow-in-the-dark
road markers. The use of high-reflectivity road markers is part of the
innovative package. This is accomplished by mixing the paint with thicker glass
beads and thermoplastic.
It doesn't glow like it did in the first situation. Even yet, when the
dye is illuminated by the headlights in the dark, it ensures enhanced
visibility.
At controlled pedestrian crossings, LED tactile paving is used. The LEDs
match the colours of the traffic signal for increased visibility for
pedestrians who are frequently looking down at their phone screens.
The markings when implemented on Indian Roads will make the roads safer
for the Indian with the use of technology.
