Reflective pavement is a type of road surface designed to enhance visibility and reduce heat absorption. It typically uses lighter-colored materials that reflect sunlight, helping to keep the pavement cooler and improving safety for drivers, especially at night or in low-light conditions. This technology can also contribute to energy savings by reducing the need for street lighting. In addition to improving visibility, reflective pavement can help mitigate the urban heat island effect, where cities become significantly warmer than surrounding areas. By reflecting more sunlight, it can lower surrounding air temperatures, benefiting both the environment and public health.
