Explore Phoenix's innovative Cool Pavement initiative that reduced surface temperatures but increased heat exposure for pedestrians. Discover the pros and cons of this reflective road coating based on thorough research by ASU.
I’ll quote the relevant passages for you. It describes the results from two different studies.
Study #1:
The research found that mean radiant temperature, a measure of the thermal radiation absorbed by the body outdoors, rose by an average of 5.5°F on the coated streets.
Study #2:
It noted […] mean radiant temperature over the [coated] pavement rose about 4°C (7.2°F) at midday
Nope.
