I drove over few highways that had raised reflective markers installed with no other lighting. Worked exceptionally well and the experience was far better than any other road lighting. One of the problems with lighting is that it can be fatiguing after some time. Point sources of light create uneven illumination which are not the most comfortable. You are also exposed to the bright source from time to time which causes your eyes to adjust constantly. With reflective lighting you have none of these drawbacks. You're not surrounded by lights all the time, so you get a dark and soothing atmosphere. They are also down on the road, which allows you to follow the contour of the road very easily. The biggest benefit, they consume no power at all.
