We've all driven down a road or highway where you're not exactly sure where one lane ends and the other begins, right? The original paint has faded away making it difficult to see, especially at night.
Well one Australian company has gone viral for their brilliant solution to the problem, and painted glow-in-the-dark lines on the highway making the lanes easier to see at any time of night.
Tarmac Linemarking used the natural science of "photoluminescence," which is similar to the process used in glow-in-the-dark stickers, toys, and watches for their line markings, and the results are absolutely stunning.
Tarmac Linemarking John Emanuelli told News.com.au, "There's been a lot of interest since the trial run, it's a great product."
The company said in a statement, "This treatment will make it easier for drivers to see the linemarkings or signage and provide stronger definition coming up to intersections and curves, giving drivers more time to react and preventing them from veering from their lane.
"This will be particularly beneficial for people who are not familiar with driving through the area."
The Victorian government will also soon be implementing LED-lit pavement near intersections and other more reflective road markings.
Hopefully this technology will soon make its way over stateside!
