Saw this mentioned on Twitter a few weeks back; it's a brilliant idea but i think there's potentially a few flaws in the design like the use of LED markings within direct sunlight and the surface which isn't smooth like tarmac so could cause excess road-noise as well as being a difficult surface for cyclists.
It's certainly the sort of idea we need to be aiming for though.

Various parts of the A24 in Sussex has been fitted with solar-powered LED cats eyes and they're incredible:

I'm sure I read somewhere they reduced accidents along that particular stretch by about 70%.


They look very good, massive difference. Can see where the road is going and everything
