Energy is one of the indispensable inputs for the existenceof human being in the earth.The socio-economic development, industrialization and civilization of any country depend on reliable energy supply. Great deal of effort is going on for energy generation mainly for finding eco-friendly energy sources. Natural gas, coal and petroleum products are facing pressure of rapid diminishing to meet this increasing energy demand. Meanwhile wind and hydro power have less possibility in Bangladesh. Nuclear power can be a huge source of clean energy. But huge investment with high end technology along sophisticated maintenance and danger of possible accident makes it very difficult and vulnerable for a country like Bangladesh. Solar shows good prospect. But piezoelectric materials, a potential source of power harnessing, can be utilized effectively in a developing country like ours. This paper outlines the electricity generation from highway using piezoelectric materials. Proposed Padma Bridge, linking the south-west of the country to northern and eastern regions, is the place for implementing the proposed project. All calculations are focused on this Bridge but this project can be implemented in any roadside too
