Glow in the dark road markings have been unveiled on a 500m stretch of highway in the Netherlands south east of Amsterdam.
The paint contains a "photo-luminizing" powder that charges up in the daytime and slowly releases a green glow at night, doing away with the need for streetlights -- and all the energy they require.
Daan Roosegaarde's inspiration came from the undersea world, and he has been working on several ideas for sustainable roads that he calls Smart Highways.
