From the article:
He added that in the vent of rain, water drains instantly off the road markings and protruding beads, providing visibility at night and in wet conditions.

Can someone please tell me how rain vents...

so every stop street and every robot will have them on the barrier line?

wont it get kind of annoying? especially if you hit a green wave, and just go through 3 or 4 green lights?

It's a very light vibration and more a buzzing noise thing.

Great idea imo. We have roads filled with inattentive drivers.

Annoying as shît. I like to drive on the line.

Stay in your lane you moron (if your wheels are on the line, your wing mirrors (and maybe more) would be intruding into another lane*.

*except if you mean the boundary line, but then only I like to drive on it to hear the buzz when it has these rumble things

I could have used these many years back when I moved to Gauteng - I dozed off driving through Bloem and the only thing that stopped me from going head on into a truck was a guinea fowl that met it's end by going through my radiator and woke me with a start indeed. Eternal fan of guinea fowls since.
