In June 2021, the Haute-Savoie department undertook safety work on a section of the Léman Mont-Blanc cycle route, linking Cluses to Magland. This 4-kilometer stretch, which is frequented by cyclists, needed to improve night-time visibility, particularly at intersections. To achieve this, LuminoKrom® photoluminescent paint was applied as 6 cm wide T3 discontinuous axial markings, as well as on warning zones at intersections. The work was carried out by Signaux Girod, a company specializing in road signage.
The advantages of LuminoKrom®: an innovative, environmentally-friendly solution
LuminoKrom® photoluminescent paint charges up with natural light during the day and gives it back at night, offering visibility for up to 10 hours in the dark without electricity consumption or CO₂ emissions. This innovative technology improves user safety by providing luminous guidance in unlit areas, while preserving the environment by reducing light pollution.
What's more, it's quick and easy to apply, comparable to conventional road paint, making it an economical and sustainable solution for local authorities wishing to secure their infrastructures responsibly.
