LuminoKrom® road-tested in the Landes region of France

Experimentation with LuminoKrom® photoluminescent paint on route départementale 29, south of Dax. This stretch of road, recognized as dangerous, was equipped with LuminoKrom® strips visible up to 80 meters away for almost ten hours, without public lighting. The aim was to improve road safety at night, while reducing energy consumption. This is the first time that a road open to traffic in France has benefited from this innovation.

 

 

Focus on a French innovation serving users

LuminoKrom® technology, developed by Bordeaux-based OliKrom in partnership with Eiffage, is presented as a sustainable, high-performance solution. Previously used on cycle paths, the paint is now applied to road surfaces to guide motorists at night without lighting. The test will run for three years, during which time driver behavior and the paint's durability will be studied, along with the possibility of extending it to other French roads.
