Fluorescent paints
Fluorescent reflective paints
An unusual pedestrian crossing appeared on Khmelnitsky Street in Kyiv. It is made of reflective stone blocks. Moreover, the paving stones are not painted, but already molded with the addition of a special pigment. This way the glow effect will last much longer. This means that at night this road markings will be impossible not to see. It turns out that reflective paint helps to "kill two birds with one stone" - and save budget funds and improve pedestrian safety. Pretty obvious benefit, right?
