I have wondered why no one has invented glow in the dark paint for roads. When the roads are wet the lines can disappear.

Back in the '60s and '70s they had reflective epoxy paint that reflected the light from your headlights. Better than glow in the dark. Then the EPA decided the fumes from drying epoxy paint were verboten, and that was the end of that.
