Studio Roosegaarde’s Smart Highway project’s primary goal is to make roads more sustainable and interactive. With the use of light, energy and road signs, the Smart Highway project aims to create roads that can automatically adapt to everyday traffic situations.

In hopes of redesigning the future of the infamous Route 66, the designers Daan Roosegaarde and Heijmans Infrastructure are working towards developing new designs and technologies that include the ‘Glow-in-the-Dark Road’, ‘Dynamic Paint’, ‘Interactive Light’, ‘Induction Priority Lane’ and ‘Wind Light’. In 2012 this project was awarded with the Best Future Concept by the Dutch Design Awards.
