The province of Groningen is going to do a test with reflective material in silent asphalt. This allows the province should be 30 per cent saving on the public lighting.
Today, the first test piece of asphalt is placed on the provincial road N980. Researchers want to know if the material after use still reduces noise and ensures a saving on the lighting.
If silent asphalt can be combined with reflective element material, which not only saves energy but also reduces rutting?
Light color
Due to the light color, the temperature of the asphalt in the summer is not so high, which will create fewer tracks in the asphalt. As a result, there is less maintenance on the road.
Further improve road safety, as by a good road surface reflection better contrast between road and verge. Other road users in safety vest and obstacles on the road more visible and so motorists can better anticipate traffic situations.
Residents from other villages are also interested in the test. At information about the redesign of the urban villages residents asked if it was possible for there also to use reflective asphalt combined with silent asphalt. If the trial like the material is also placed in these villages.
