Very interesting. I say go with what you can see the best! There's nothing worse than not being able to see road markings while driving.

That was the whole point. The purpose of the video was to show how well a durable pavement marking can withstand winter conditions compared to traffic paint. The benefit is improved safety as there remains visible markings for those months from the time the traffic paint has worn off until the paint crews repaint the road. This can mean 3 - 6 months of no paint lines in some cases if the paint crews don't get there until later in the summer.

that dont make any sense,the paint is old of course you bearly can see, plus the thermo stay longer, why you dont put the view of the paint just when they paint the road?

Dont you mean, DURATHERM! by integrated paving concepts and logotherm, a division of STREETPRINT, have done my share of inlaid thermal plastics mostly crosswalks, and one of the largest logotherms applied at seattle university in Washington state, Nice work thou.

Much more expensive though, paint is expected to last around 2 years depending on its location. Thermo expected to last 6 years but costs a fair bit more.
