Another UK Green Solution! Green...the new color of safety.
Astucia Traffic Safety Systems' flush, solar-lit road studs have LEDs powered micro solar panels, which collect and store energy during the day, and turn on the lights when it's dark. The SolarLites offer 10 times the visibility or regular reflectors; seen from over half a mile away. Which means that drivers have a lead time of 30-seconds instead of 3 seconds to correct their driving to changes in the route. SolarLite Studs are also a great benefit to cyclists.
According to Astucia, as a result of installing SolarLite Road Studs in various locations throughout England, accidents in those traffic areas have dropped by over 70 percent. This safety product, in the long run, is also more cost effective, with a life of 8-10 years.
I wonder what it will take, how long it will take, for SolarLite Road Studs to be installed on our roadways to make driving throughout the US a greener, safer experience?? This might be something for an advocacy group to pursue, yes?
