Full Description

RP-8-00 American National Standard Practice for Roadway Lighting This Recommended Practice provides the design basis for lighting roadways, adjacent bikeways, and pedestrian ways. It deals entirely with lighting and does not give advice on construction. It is not intended to be applied to existing lighting systems until such systems are redesigned. This Practice revises and replaces the previous edition which was published in 1983 and reaffirmed in 1993.

Roadway lighting is intended to produce quick, accurate, and comfortable seeing at night that will safeguard, facilitate, and encourage vehicular and pedestrian traffic. The proper use of roadway lighting is also associated here with certain economic and social benefits including a reduction in nighttime accidents, aid to the police, facilitation of traffic flow, and the promotion of business during nighttime hours.
