My view is based on my personal assessment of the data available and of course may turn out to be right or wrong!! I've posted the comment below on your blog. <br />________________________________________________<br />You may, in the end, turn out to be right about this, who knows, but your testing of this product is hardly comprehensive and fully scientific - lets wait until we have some proper data over a period of time shall we? No doubt the individual observations of path users should be an important consideration - but not just one persons opinion, observations, and a few photos (I personnally have doubts about the time you took the photos posted on your blog). <br /><br />This technology may turn out to be unsuitable here but I think you are a bit premature and over-strong in your reaction.Glenn Vowleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02392000659876958930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36190173.post-6789272632225950512009-06-25T12:44:10.785+01:002009-06-25T12:44:10.785+01:00Update - they're totally useless, exactly as I...Update - they're totally useless, exactly as I suggested.

They could also help reduce crime as people might value their environment more. Actually, the fact they don't emit the same amount of light as street lights (and are located on the ground) is surely a benefit for wildlife! Reflective paint is less effective as it gets older and who would want to see the Railway Path covered in road markings?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36190173.post-69652058185987154882009-03-21T13:43:00.000+00:002009-03-21T13:43:00.000+00:00There may be an issue with light intensity levels....There may be an issue with light intensity levels....thing to do is try them out and get the reactions of path users.

They will do little more than mark out the line of the path, something that can be achieved with reflective paint reacting to bicycle lights.<BR/><BR/>There is a danger that these lights will give cyclists a false sense of security and actually cause collisions. We will see.Chris Hutthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01532451004057748734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36190173.post-50181312745347715942009-03-20T09:42:00.000+00:002009-03-20T09:42:00.000+00:00Interesting piece Glenn.

One sad thing about the prevalence of modern street lighting is that city dwellers have no idea of the glory of the night sky due to the amount of light pollution. Be good to reverse the trend on that one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
