From Ningyocho, pass through amazake Yokocho to Kiyosubashi-dori, and when you look at the opposite Meijiza area, you will see some new signs.
If you take a closer look
You will meet the title "Cool Road ~ Under Road Temperature Measurement ~"
When I read it,
The gray paint painted on the roadway of this street is called thermal insulation pavement.
This pavement is a comfortable and cool road that reflects the heat from the sun and suppresses the rise in road temperature.
Yes, it is.
On the left side, the illustration of Shirokuma-kun explains the comparison between the past pavement and this thermal insulation pavement.
First of all, the day
Until now, the pavement absorbs the heat of the sun and generates heat on the road surface, and the road surface is hot.
The heat-insulating pavement reflects the heat of the sun, making it difficult for heat to accumulate on the road surface. The road surface is cool.
Next at night,
Until now, the road surface is hot because the heat from the day is released.
The heat shielding pavement is comfortable even at night because heat is hard to store.
Yes, it is.
You can see the temperature display on the right side.
Current temperature is 30,7°C
Paving up to now 38,9°C
Heat-proof pavement 36,0°C
You can see the display.
You can see that the temperature on the road surface is rising compared to the outside temperature.
Today's effect is about 3 ° C, but sometimes the gap between 4 to 5 ° C can be seen.
The image above shows Kiyosubashi-dori on the side of amazake Yokocho from the front of this display board.
If you are careful, this special pavement can be seen around Higashinihombashi.
If you ask the jurisdiction of the signboard, Chuo-ku government office road section
It is said that the heat shielding pavement itself has been carried out for a long time.
The signboard seems to be seen for the first time.
It was a very interesting display board this summer.
