Traffic demands are sharply influenced by the time and day of the week regarding roads and station plazas. If it is possible to change the number of traffic lanes or the usage of road flexibly according to traffic demands, the limited road space can be used effectively and an efficient road operation can be managed. Furthermore, it can be thought to contribute to the improvement of user convenience and safety. The authors have developed a traffic marking system with high brightness light emitting diode named "Lane-Lighting-System". This system realizes the use of the above-mentioned road efficiency by changing traffic markings in accordance with traffic demands synchronizing with IT. In this paper, an outline of "Lane-Lighting-System" is introduced and its applications for roads, tunnels, station plazas and parking areas are proposed.
