The new Van Gogh-Roosegaarde bicycle path is made of
thousands glowing stones inspired by 'Starry Night'. It charges at daytime and
gives light at night. The path combines innovation with cultural heritage in
the city of Nuenen NL, the place where Van Gogh lived in 1883.
This is the second Smart Highway Project which are
interactive and sustainable roads of tomorrow by designer Daan Roosegaarde and
Heijmans Infrastructure. The goal is to make smart roads by using light, energy
and road signs that interact with the traffic situation.
As we reported last week, another Dutch town, Krommenie,
installed solar panels on a bike commuter path outside Amsterdam. The power
generated by the panels will be funneled into the national energy grid
