SOLAR-POWERED GLOWING HIGHWAY IN THE NETHERLANDS Heijmans Infrastructure have debuted their test drive of Smart Highways, a sustainable road system for safer driving in Oss in the Netherlands. The system places solar-powered glowing lines along the edge of highway N329, providing drivers with three edge strips of green light. During the day, the lines “charge up” with solar energy, and at night they can glow for up to eight hours, illuminating the route to help keep cars safely on the road. This project will enter its next phase with a glowing bike path, based on the painting Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh, along the historic Van Gogh Route. Another development is reactive paint that will warn drivers when roads are icy.
