City of Greater Bendigo engineering manager Ian McLauchlan said this was the first time that the photoluminescent product would be used in Greater Bendigo.

"This new line marking product looks and functions like ordinary line marking in daylight but emits stored light which enhances its visibility when dark," he said.

"With lighting unaffordable and impractical at a lot of locations, it is believed that photoluminescent line-marking may provide a cost-effective solution to assist users to safely navigate roads and pathways in low light and night-time conditions.

"The Bendigo Creek Trail is a very popular and well used shared used path in Greater Bendigo and the line marking is expected to enhance the useability of the path both during the day and at night."

Mt McLauchlan said the city was pleased to partner with the Department of Transport to trial the new line marking technology along a considerable part of the Bendigo Creek Trail and around Lake Weeroona.

"We are interested in evaluating the success of the Bendigo Creek Trail trial to see if this product can be used for safety purposes in other parts of Greater Bendigo in the future," he said.

Work to apply the new line marking has commenced and will be completed this week.
