Poland has introduced a light emitting vivid blue bicycle lane that is recharged by the sun
Poland recently showcased an extraordinary innovative bicycle path that is recharged by the sun and glows bright and vivid blue at night time!
The pathway near Lidzbark Warminski is lit by phosphor, a man made material that will light up after it is recharged by the sun rays. Studio Roosegaarde’s Starry Night bike lane inspired TPA Instytut Badań Technicznych Sp. z o.o to come up with the glowing bicycle path.
Chief executive Igor Ruttmar told Gazeta Wyborcza that the component in the cycle path will be able to send out light for about 10 hours. Every day the pathway is recharged by the sun and gathers the energy that allows it to shine overnight. Board of Regional Roads in Olsztyn director Waldemar Królikowski stated the luminous cycle path is intended to improve the safety of those riding a bike at night.
TPA Sp. z o.o.’s bicycle lane does not need to have any kind of electrical power sources. The bicycle lane is currently being subjected to testing, as it is not established exactly how much time the lane can last before it starts to wear out.
