Our Mission
Brightpave Markers is dedicated to saving lives on America’s roadways. We reduce nighttime lane departure crashes and seek to deter wrong way drivers through improved visibility and connected vehicle applications.
Over the last decade, more than 400,000 lives have been lost to traffic accidents. According to government statistics, ~50% of all US traffic fatalities occur at night. After billions of dollars spent on improved lane markings, these fatality numbers remain stubbornly persistent. America needs innovative traffic safety solutions to achieve the Vision Zero objective of eliminating roadway fatalities.
“Even though only 25% of the vehicle miles traveled occur at night, nearly 50% of the fatalities occur during those hours. The nighttime fatality rate is three times the daytime rate. If we could get the nighttime rate to approach that of daytime, we would save as many as 14,000 lives per year”.

Coming soon
Brightpave Markers has developed the next generation of internally illuminated roadway markers for road safety. Our recessed, solar powered LED device is designed to avoid snowplow strikes and achieve dramatically improved visibility in inclement weather. We built on the successful test of a LED marker on a Colorado interstate in 2014. This initial demonstration resulted in a 50% reduction in injury crashes!
