SMART HIGHWAY are sustainable roads, designed for tomorrow. In its first design GLOWING LINES charges during day-time and glows for several hours at night to create an iconic highway experience and increase safety. Other designs such as VAN GOGH BICYCLE PATH and GATES OF LIGHT have also been realised to enhance safety and poetry.

Winner of Best Future Concept, Dutch Design Award, Accenture Innovation Award, and INDEX Award Denmark.

The first GLOWING LINES were realised after a trial period of three months in the Netherlands, and glows up to eight hours at night. The project exhibited for three years in the municipality of Oss. GLOWING LINES will further be developed and launched internationally.

SMART HIGHWAY are interactive and sustainable roads of tomorrow by Daan Roosegaarde and Heijmans Infrastructure. The goal was to make smart roads by using light, energy and information that interact with the traffic situation. SMART HIGHWAY consists of the projects: Electric Priority Lane, Dynamic Paint, Glowing Lines, Interactive Light, Road Printer, and Wind Light.

VAN GOGH PATH shares the same vision, made of thousands of twinkling stones inspired by 'Starry Night'. The path combines innovation with cultural heritage in the town of Nuenen in the Netherlands, Van Gogh’s place of residence in 1883.

The collaboration between Roosegaarde and Heijmans is a true example of innovative industry. The design and interactivity by Studio Roosegaarde and the craftsmanship of Heijmans are fused into one common goal: innovation of the Dutch landscape.
