Abstract

Gives the design objectives for planning effective road lighting on all-purpose trunk roads. Road safety at night is the main consideration in designing road lighting systems. The luminance method design procedure in this Standard introduces the preparation of alternative road lighting designs in performance terms. Performance is expressed in the photometric terms of road surface luminance level and uniformity with glare control, and the effect on these of varying several parameters can be tested. The procedure takes into account the expected operation and maintenance procedures, safety and environmental factors and lamp and lantern developments.
