| BSI | 2020 | 88 |
This part of BS 5489 gives recommendations on the general principles of road lighting and its aesthetic and technical aspects, and provides guidance on operation and maintenance. It also provides guidance on means of minimizing energy consumption and limiting the impact on the environment and adjacent property.
It gives recommendations for the design of lighting for all types of highway and public thoroughfare, including those specifically for pedestrians and cyclists, and for pedestrian subways and bridges. It excludes the lighting of vehicular tunnels and underpasses, which are covered in BS 5489‑2.
It gives recommendations for the design of lighting for urban centres and public amenity areas. It gives recommendations and guidance for lighting relating to smart cities.
It gives additional recommendations for lighting around aerodromes, railways, coastal waters, harbours and navigable waterways, in order to minimize the possibility of the lighting interfering with these modes of transport.
