Experts have suggested that such paints should be applied at traffic signals where vehicles are supposed to stop right behind the white line which is harder to see during the night time; in such cases this paint helps. These are cost effective simple interventions that can increase safety on streets.
For those unversed, luminescent paint is being applied as it gives more visibility during the night and is also durable.
