The Anonymous Widower

A Glow In The Dark Road

I found this story on the BBC web site. It describes how photo-luminescence is going to be used in The Netherlands to make a road safer. It follows a similar idea in a park in Hammersmith that I reported here.

I backed a guy, who was doing something similar thirty years ago, but nothing came of it, I probably wasted a grand, so it wasn’t something I couldn’t affoprd.

I have only seen one successful application of the technology and that was in the Hotel Windsor in Nice to create a ceiling of stars, that dimmed as you went to sleep.

It was very romantic and I wonder if the hotel still has the same ceiling.

But whatever happens to the road in The Netherlands, I believe it is a technology that has lots of applications and we’ll see a lot of it in the future.
