Glow in the dark road markings have been unveiled on a 500m stretch of highway in the Netherlands.

Hi my name is Jacobus Theron and I live in South Africa. I’m a young entrepeneur that want to make the world a better place for us all to live in.
This paint will help to safe energy, make people lives safer and the world a more eco-friendly place to live in.
I came up with a simple idea that will help all the people in this world.
It is a glow in the dark paint that is like nothing you have ever seen before. A paint that can be applied to
anything except humans or animals. A paint that can last many years, is highly visible during the day, that can

And South Africa can be the first country to implement this and show the world how it is done.
