Consequences

The biomimetic road surface technology offers significant positive consequences: 

  • Enhanced road safety

  • Reduced accidents

  • Lower maintenance costs

  • Environmentally friendly

  • Prevents soil and water contamination from salt runoff

  • Improves road longevity by reducing chemical and ice-induced damage

Potential challenges include

  • High initial implementation costs

  • Regulatory approvals for large scale adoption

  • Possible wearing of pattern over time. Long-term durability testing needed

  • Pre-fabricated stamping material compatibility and manufacturing.

Despite these challenges, its benefits outweigh its drawbacks, making it a promising solution.
