According to CNN, people in the town of Krommenie, in the northern Dutch province, in the northwest of the Netherlands, can travel on this road from 12/11. Bicycle road 70m long, made by SolaRoad company.

The segment has a concrete structure with solar panels and covers a thin layer of glass. Thanks to these materials, sunlight is absorbed and converted into energy. Energy can be used to illuminate street lights at night, traffic lights or serve the needs of the household.

The trial will continue for the next three years, with the goal of opening more new solar routes.

"SolaRoad is the first road in the world to put Holland on the map as a leading country in sustainable innovation," said Henk Kamp, the Dutch economic minister.
