Glow in the dark bike trails and pathways aren’t a new thing in other parts of the world. Last August, the city of Gosford located in New South Wales, Australia, got their own version of glow in the dark paths, and we’re up next. A 100-meter section of the Rail Corridor between Upper Bukit Timah and Choa Chu Kang Road will be seen glowing in the dark by as early as the third quarter of next year.
It’s part of a two-year trial conducted by the Urban Redevelopment Authority. Besides the fact that they’re pretty and really mesmerizing to look at, they also serve the purpose of making the paths safer and more accessible without completely changing the rustic experience you’ll get from using the track. It works similarly to how your old glow in the dark star stickers did: natural, non-toxic light green strontium aluminate minerals will absorb ultraviolet rays from the sun so that it can glow at night for about eight hours.
The project is slated to begin in the first quarter of 2017.
