Making Potholes visible

The bane and cause of numerous two wheel accidents are those potholes that seem to appear overnight.
It would be nice if they could be prevented in the first place or fixed as soon as they do appear, but in Italy, potholes are very rarely fixed with the excuse that’s there’s never enough money to do the job and road safety goes to hell.

Four Italian students (Domenico Diego, Cristina Corradini, Alessio De Nicolo Volpe and Dario De Meo) from the Milan Polytech have come up with La Strada che Vive (The Street That Lives) a novel idea to make potholes easier to see and avoidable.

The idea is to a have a brightly-coloured layer of asphalt a few inches beneath the surface of the road, which becomes visible from a distance when the road surface breaks up.
The idea is already be tested in Rho, a small town close to Milan, to see if the project is viable and more important, cost effective, after which the students may plan to market the product across Europe.
