Innovative Glow-in-the-Dark Roads in Australia: Aiming to Improve Safety and Environmental Harmony

With the help of Tarmac Linemarking, OmniGrip Direct, and VicRoads, the Public Works Department has started a trial of glow-in-the-dark roads in an exciting development in Eastern Victoria. This creative solution uses photoluminescent line markings that are intended to absorb sunlight and release light at night to improve visibility on unlit rural roads. The markings are placed along a 700-meter stretch of Metung Road.

As part of a larger $457 million road safety program by the Victorian Government, these roadways offer potential benefits in improving traffic safety by giving increased visibility without additional street lighting, albeit their effectiveness may vary depending on the weather.
