Sort of like movie theatre stairway lights, only the lights would 'travel' down the road.
Ah, heck. Let's just go all out and get conveyor belted roads. Like the Jetsons' sidewalks.

That - would be totally awesome
Actually, I've seen something sorta like that (for a different purpose). Somewhere in S. Florida - there's a 90 degree turn at the end of a highway offramp. There's an optical sensor and light up road reflectors that follow a curve... It looks
really cool - and effective as the concrete at the end of the raised offramp has been "used" a few times...
Hrmm... giving it a few more instances of thought... I'm not quite sure how to program that without being confusing given that the speed needs to change for vehicles behind you...
