Light-absorbing glow-in-the-dark road markings have replaced streetlights on a 500m stretch of highway in the Netherlands. Studio Roosegaarde promised us the design back in 2012, and after cutting through rather a lot of government red tape we can finally see the finished product. One Netherlands news report said, "It looks like you are driving through a fairytale," which pretty much sums up this extraordinary project. The design studio like to bring technology and design to the real world, with practical and beautiful results. [video=youtube;Ydv07lb2ebQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ydv07lb2ebQ[/video]
This guy from Holland was telling me they have cameras that take pics of your car at one point, then another pick at a measured distance. They use this to calculate your avg speed between the 2 points and can send you a ticket if it's over the speed limit I was kind of disappointed to hear that
When I was in Belgium they had that shit. They paint markers on the autoroute to judge distance. Bastards.
i'm thinking that i would have enjoyed trying to drive down these roads while on lsd etc. it's an interesting idea.
