EXAMPLES OF LIGHTING OF PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS
The statistics show that most accidents involving pedestrians take place at crossings. The properly-selected lighting of a pedestrian crossing should ensure that a pedestrian can safety cross the road and a driver can see him/her on the crossing in time to react adequately.
The lighting must:
– show a pedestrian silhouette;
– create positive contrast (a bright figure against dark backgrounds) due to light coming angularly (from the side) and not vertically (from the above);
– not let drivers to dazzle;
– single out a crossing by a higher level of intensity (50 lx) compared to general lighting;
– also illuminate space where pedestrians wait at the crossing

Roundabouts i.e. collision-free intersections are located in the most demanding places in terms of safety and traffic intensity. Their proper lighting will allow drivers to see the roundabout and its layout and other vehicles.
