Bike lanes are either a blessing or a nuisance. Some creative urban planners in Lidzbark Warminski, Poland have found a way to remedy this two-sided issue.
Using crystal-like particles of phosphor called ‘luminophores,’ urban planners from TPA Instytut Badań Technicznych Sp. z o.o, have created a bike path that lights up when the Sun goes down. The crystals charge up in sunlight and require no external power source. The path can be discerned from a pedestrian-only sideway thanks to some clever symbols. The project has entered the test phase where experts see how regular wear and tear is handled by the luminosphores. Check out images of the path below and head on over here to learn more.
