One of the conditions for safe and comfortable driving on roads is a surface that is reflective and clearly visible at night. The luminance of a road surface depends on the amount of light falling on it and the reflectance properties of the road surface at any point. The reflectance of a road surface depends on its physical condition, age and type, the direction of lighting, and the conditions of observation. Different road surfaces may have various reflectance characteristics depending on the surface texture, materiality and binder. Experimental studies were performed on cement concrete modular pavement slabs that differ in color and texture of the surface. The analysis of the research results showed the differences between the reflective luminance characteristics of the surface of cement concrete modular pavement, taking into account the color of the coating, the texture properties of the coating surface and surface conditions. In the case of wet or damp concrete modular coatings, the reduced luminosity coefficient is about 60 percent lower than in dry ones. The reduced luminance coefficient of the light gray coating is about 38 percent higher than that of the darker shade coating (red and dark gray). The results obtained from the research are significant for street designers in choosing the type of pavement and designing street lighting.
