Abstract:
1. A moisture-activated image applied to a surface of a roadway comprising: a base carrier substrate fabricated of a moisture absorbing material, wherein said base carrier substrate is one of a surface of a roadway and a composition applied to said surface of said roadway; a colorless moisture-blocking agent applied onto said base carrier substrate, said moisture-blocking agent is a moisture-blocking film treatment provided in sheet form, wherein said sheet is fabricated of a hydrophobic material, said sheet comprising a pattern formed as apertures passing through said sheet, wherein said pattern resembles a desired artwork, wherein said moisture-blocking agent is shaped and subsequently bonded to said base carrier substrate, wherein when moisture is applied to said base carrier substrate, said moisture is absorbed by an exposed area of said base carrier substrate, causing a color change of said exposed area of said base carrier substrate and an area of said base carrier substrate comprising said block agent repels said moisture creating a contrast, retaining an original color of said base carrier substrate, thus displaying said pattern resembling said desired artwork.
