Illuminated markings to guide cyclists and pedestrians at night

Innovative signage for safe soft mobility

Following in the footsteps of neighbouring Mèze, the town of Poussan recently chose to upgrade its cycle network with our LuminoKrom® photoluminescent road paint. This decision marks a turning point in the development of infrastructure dedicated to soft mobility in the region, with the emphasis on safety and night-time visibility.

The LuminoKrom® paint application at Poussan is designed to illuminate cycle paths after sunset, using a technology that allows the paint to absorb daylight and release it again at night. This system provides natural, long-lasting lighting, giving cyclists and pedestrians better visibility and greater safety as they travel at night.

This project is part of a wider initiative by the town to promote the use of bicycles as an environmentally-friendly and healthy means of transport, by making night-time journeys as safe and comfortable as daytime ones. Poussan's adoption of this innovative technology, following in the footsteps of the Mèze cycle path, demonstrates the growing commitment of local authorities in the region to supporting active mobility while taking into account the imperatives of safety and energy efficiency.

 

A sustainable and efficient solution for soft mobility

LuminoKrom® captures daylight and releases it for 10 hours at night, guaranteeing high-performance signage without energy consumption.

This new installation is testimony to the Ville de Poussan's commitment to developing safe, sustainable infrastructures that encourage eco-friendly travel.
