The panels also come with a heating element to eliminate the use of snow/ice removal and salt/sand on the roads. By this happening cars won't be susceptible to corrosion cause by the salt during the winter months. The solar roadways show that having safer driving conditions in the winter is possible with the help of the heating element within the panels. When repairing the roads instead of filling in the roads with uneven potholes just the panels that are damaged with be removed and replaced with brand new panels. This helps to keep the roads in the best condition as possible. .
Some people may be thinking that the elimination of snow/ice removal is getting rid of jobs that the hard working men and women during the winter months have. Those men and women would no longer have a job as a plow driver for example but will most likely asked to take a job working on installment of the roads or maintenance of the roads. Which many people would be called to work on the installment of the roadways due to the large amount of road there is in the United States. Due to the installment of the solar roadways there will be more jobs available than jobs lost. .
The solar roadways have the capability to prevent accidents of all kinds with the help of the pressure sensors in the panels. For starters, the roadways with be equip with LED lighting to help drivers see better when driving at night. Continuing with the LED lighting the solar panels, with the help of the pressure sensors, will send warning messages to be illuminated on the roads to tell drivers approaching accidents to be cautious and slow down. If a driver manages to get into an accident in a dead zone for cell phones the new solar roadways will have telephone cables running underneath to provide any driver with service for emergency moments. Allowing drivers the peace of mind of letting love ones drive through dead zones that will now longer exist.
