Interesting fact about concrete parking lots.

asphalt-vs-concrete-parking-lot-lighting

In this photo of the shopping mall you can see quite a difference in the visibility of the parking spaces and overall clarity at night. Concrete parking lots enhance safety at night. This is due to the lighter grey color compared to the asphalt blacktop surface. Concrete is up to three times more reflective than asphalt. This reduces the amount of parking lot lighting needed and can cut costs up to 30%, while at the same time enhancing visibility and safety.
