Illuminated Bike Paths - New Bike Path Is Illuminated With Solar Panels

A new cycle track was recently presented in the Netherlands. Illuminated bike paths are everywhere, but this idea of the Dutch designer Daan Roosegaarde has introduced a new concept - rather than give up traditional garden lights, Roosegaarde has a special asphalt coating - the so-called solar Colour - develops. This layer charges on the day by sunlight and then lit by evening. Thus, each route is safer and more beautiful!

Illuminated bike paths - from Vincent Van Gogh inspired

Amazing Illuminated Bike Paths

The idea for bike paths illuminated by Daan Roosegaarde was inspired by the painting "Starry Night" by painter Vincent Van Gogh. The bike path was built in the province of Noord Brabant / where the talented artist was born and raised /. With the official opening of the route on 13 November, the celebrations have begun for the 125th year of death of Van Gogh. Tourists and locals can follow the course for a year go free. And that is worthwhile in any case, because the path is illuminated in soft pastel colors - blue and green - and creates an effective optical illusion. Additional LED-lighting is also provided - but the lamps are only switched on when there was not sufficient sunlight for the charge of the solar panels on the day.

Illuminated bike paths - can the special solar color replace conventional lighting?

What actually might appear at first glance as an interesting art project, but may in the future an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional lighting are. Cycling Routes, garden paths, and even public parks can be installed with the special coating. Last year, a tram line in the Netherlands was treated with the solar color, for example. Also this year, the talented designer wants to implement more projects.
