Herimoncourt, LuminoKrom® a photoluminescent cycle path

Creation of a new LuminoKrom® photoluminescent cycle path, Pays de Montbéliard Agglomeration

LuminoKrom® photoluminescent paint is displayed on the cycle path in Herimoncourt (25) on the edge of the Abbévillers forest. By choosing this luminescent paint, the objective of the Agglomeration Pays de Montbéliard is twofold.

On the one hand, increase visibility at night and on the other hand limit light pollution in an eco-responsible approach, by avoiding the use of public lighting (a very expensive solution).

The luminescent marking was carried out by the T1 Agency - Hélios Group applicator over one kilometer of the discontinuous central band (T3, 6cm).

An innovative project to improve night-time visibility

In June 2020, the Communauté d'Agglomération du Pays de Montbéliard undertook an innovative project in Hérimoncourt, Doubs, aimed at improving safety for cyclists on a new track running alongside the Abbévillers forest. To achieve this, a 6 cm-wide discontinuous central marking in LuminoKrom® photoluminescent paint was applied over a one-kilometer stretch. This initiative had the dual aim of improving night-time visibility for users and limiting light pollution by avoiding the installation of public lighting, which is often costly and energy-intensive. The work was carried out by Groupe Hélios' T1 agency.

The benefits of LuminoKrom®: an eco-responsible and efficient solution

The application of LuminoKrom® photoluminescent paint provides visibility for up to 10 hours in the dark, without requiring a power supply or emitting CO₂. This innovative technology improves cyclists' safety by providing luminous guidance in unlit areas, while preserving the environment by reducing light pollution. What's more, LuminoKrom® is simple and economical to install, comparable to conventional road paint, making it easy to adopt by local authorities wishing to make their infrastructures safer in a sustainable way.

Feedback from the applicator on the use of LuminoKrom photoluminescent paint:

Proximark - Road signs (LinkedIn 2020): "New successful LuminoKrom achievement in Herimoncourt (25) near the Abbévillers forest and the historic Peugeot family factory. For the creation of this new cycle path, Pays de Montbéliard Agglomeration has improved the visibility of the marking by choosing luminescent paint. A one-kilometer marking that lights up in the middle of the night to make cyclists' journeys safer! "
