People from Râşcani sector can now use the first phosphorescent crosswalk from the Capital. The works were performed for free by a Romanian company.

Compared to simple paint, that can last to only six months, the phosphorescent paint can be used for at least two years. 

"Those are investments, but not big enough to think that our city can live without such a gift. The project costs 1 500 Euro. The crosswalk will surely be visible for the next two years. The paint also dried in only 20 minutes" director of the construction company, Fiodor Caraghiaur said.

Workers needed around two hours to finish the works.

People are the ones who win from this. Some claim that before, they needed to wait for a few minutes before drivers would notice them.

"You could barely see the crosswalk. The new one will ensure our safety and I am sure that now there will be less accidents."

Even drivers could only praise the idea.

"Of course this is great. We will be able to see. I knew there was a crosswalk here, but now I will be able to actually see it."

"This is a good idea, since before we could not see a thing, including the people who wished to cross the street."
