On the motorway how do cats eyes help drivers to see at night?
Cat's eyes on the motorway are actually tiny little reflectors inset into the pavement to reflect the car's headlights back at the driver. They are called that because they reflect light back just the way eyes of real cats do; if a cat is looking at you, and you shine a light at it, the cat's eyes will reflect the light back. The main thing that cats eyes on the motorway do is provide a clearer indication of where the motorway lines are. The reflection from a cats eye embedded in the road is much more visible than the line painted on the road and can be seen at a much greater distance. Cats eyes of different colours give the driver lane separation, and early warning of slip roads, hard shoulders, median edge, danger areas etc

What are cat eyes?
Cat's eyes are reflectors that return light that falls on them back to the light's source. Often they are inset into roads to show road edges and lane markings. They get their name from the eyes of cats, which have a reflective layer behind the retina; this enhances the cat's night vision by passing the light back through the retina, effectively doubling it. At the same time, it makes the cat's eyes seem to glow if you look at a cat with a light behind you. It is this reflection of the light directly back at you that inspired the name for the reflectors.
