reflective pavement

Construction / Civil Engineering
CONTEXT:
Climate-smart cooling practices can help reduce the need for and improve the efficiency of air conditioning, thus lowering emissions of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). These practices include cool roofs and reflective pavements, better-insulated and safer housing infrastructure, and proper urban planning to reduce urban heat islands.
Would "route/chaussée réfléchissante" make any sense? I get the idea, but I'm having a hard time finding the proper translation for this one.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

chaussées qui réfléchissent le rayonnement solaire
"Le bitume noir habituel des chaussées emmagasine 80 à 95% de la lumière solaire alors que les revêtements de couleur pâle la réfléchissent, faisant baisser la température au sol de façon spectaculaire, d'après les partisans de cette technologie."

Thank you for your comments. The text is written in US English.
Et Florence, c'est très intéressant de savoir que cette technique peut être appliquée aux pétroliers. J'imagine que cela fait partie d'un effort global pour atténuer le changement climatique.
Pavement in EN-UK = trottoir
Another interesting feature of these ships is that all side shell above the deep draught water line, excluding the funnel, is painted white. By using a reflective colour, the temperature of the steel decks can be reduced and keep the cargo cooler.
