Bombannes Plage: Photoluminescent cyclepath and pedestrian walkway

Photoluminescent paint equips the pedestrian crossing of a bike path along the beach from Bombannes to Carcans

LuminoKrom photoluminescent paint continues to be deployed. The municipality of Carcans has decided to apply this paint on the cycle path along the beach near the UCPA Beach Club in Bombannes. The Eiffage and Alinéa Sigalisation teams produced the luminescent marking on the continuous central band of 10cm (type T3) with bicycle logos. A photoluminescent pedestrian crossing with cold white plaster has also been created to secure the crossing of pedestrians at night.

The objective of the Municipality of Carcans and the National Forestry Office (ONF) is twofold: to secure night travel and to conserve biodiversity in a natural space devoid of public lighting. LuminoKrom® photoluminescent road paint captures light during the day and lights up at night without consuming electricity or emitting CO2.

An innovative project: photoluminescent markings at Bombannes

In September 2020, the commune of Carcans, in partnership with the Office National des Forêts (ONF), initiated a bold project aimed at improving night-time safety while respecting the local ecosystem. The project, carried out with Eiffage Route Sud-Ouest and Alinéa Signalisation, saw the installation of LuminoKrom® photoluminescent paint on a cycle path running alongside the Bombannes beach, near the UCPA Beach Club. A 10 cm continuous central strip, accompanied by bicycle logos, was applied, as well as a photoluminescent crosswalk in white cold coating. LuminoKrom® technology uses pigments that capture daylight and release it at night, providing visible lighting without the need for street lighting.

The benefits and contribution of LuminoKrom®

Integrating LuminoKrom® paint into this project offers major advantages. It significantly improves the safety of cyclists and pedestrians by increasing their night-time visibility, while reducing the risk of accidents. What's more, this eco-responsible solution operates without energy consumption or CO₂ emissions, preserving the natural environment of Bombannes beach. User testimonials underline the positive impact of this innovation: "Thanks to this paint that lights up in the night, we come home with the children in complete safety. It allows us to enjoy the beach to the full at the end of the evening!" This project is a perfect illustration of LuminoKrom®'s contribution to safe, sustainable mobility.

Feedback on LuminoKrom's contribution, user word:

"Well done, it's a real success that allows you to reach the car in the parking lot from the beach with complete peace of mind. An ideal way to keep a natural place without public lighting. Thanks to this painting which lights up at night, we return home with the children in complete safety. This allows us to fully enjoy the beach at the end of the evening! "
