Having trialled glow-in-the-dark road markings, the government says it is unlikely to proceed with further implementation of them. According to deputy works minister Ahmad Maslan, the high cost involved is the major factor in the decision to reconsider the project,
“The cost is too high, so we are probably not going to continue with the glow-in-the-dark lanes,” he said in the Dewan Rakyat. He added that the pilot project for this, which had been carried out in selected areas, failed to meet the expectations of experts from the ministry. “We ran tests, but it did not satisfy the experts from the ministry,” he said.
The first glow-in-the-dark road markings were installed in November last year, when the Hulu Langat public works department carried out theon a 245 metre-stretch between Jalan Sungai Lalang and Jalan Sungai Tekali, serving as an alternative to the use of road studs or “cats’ eyes.”the use of glow-in-the-dark road markings to 15 other locations, covering some 15 km of roads in districts such as Sepang, Kuala Langat and Petaling.
Other states also began their own trials. In January, Johor menteri besar Onn Hafiz Ghazi said a total of 31 roads in the state were identified for pilot projects using such technology as part of the state government’s efforts to improve the safety of motorists.
