Qatar has also conducted several tests to see if blue roads really lower temperatures. For this an 18-month pilot project was started in Qatar.

What will be the benefit of changing the color –
According to scientists, the temperature of a black or brown street is more than 20 to 25 degrees. It is believed that black color draws the most heat. This is the reason that if there are no trees on the side of the road, then their temperature increases even more. That’s why Qatar is trying to reduce the temperature here by 15 to 20 degrees by changing its roads to blue. By the way, let us tell you, this is not the first time, apart from Qatar, the streets of Las Vegas, Mecca and Tokyo city have also been painted blue.
