The Rubber Highway
A congestion-beating project that could lead to some of the UK’s 9,000 miles (14,500km) of disused railway being paved with rubber, has been launched.
The flexible highways are made of panels of shredded car tyres laid over the existing tracks.
New thoroughfares could be shared by both cars and trams travelling at up to 50mph (80km/h) say Holdfast, the company behind the scheme.
Nothing scary about having a multi-ton train cruising behind you at 50 mph!
