A stretch of road near me about three miles long has just been re-surfaced. It's a nice black shiney surface and really smooth with almost no tyre noise, so little that I had to open the window to check. It also had nice really white and bright lines - a bit like the old washing powder advert "Omo adds bright, bright brightness". But, the white lines as you approach them turn a bright pink colour up to about 5 metres ahead of the car. The weather was fine and conditions were dry at the time and there was no salt on the road. As soon as I left the re-surfaced bit and back on to the old road surface the pink effect stopped.

Is this some sort of new thing? Anyone else seen it?

And no, I definately haven't been drinking.

Yes I saw it the other day while driving over from Chesterfield to Stockport, I did wonder what was going on as the white lines turned purple/pink in the headlights.

is it just for xmas or for life . . . .

they been trying adding fluorescent paint to white lining ? If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

...... those new white/Pink lines ......... are just for women drivers

I wonder if it's anything to do with the refraction that goes on around the edges of projector headlights? If the paint is as reflective as you say, I wonder if it's able to pick this up?

its to do with politically correct New Motorway lanes.

Men outside lane red
Women inside lane white
The rest who have no idea middle Lane pink
