Roadway Lighting Guide
Two decades of research into lighting concepts combined with major advancements in computer simulation and design software have resulted in new techniques and methodologies for design of efficient, effective, safe and environmentally responsive roadway lighting systems. A number of North American transportation jurisdictions have initiated the process of re-evaluating all aspects of roadway lighting systems to respond to the increasing public demands to provide safe, efficient and cost-effective systems. The objective of this project, advanced through the Traffic Operations and Management Standing Committee (TOMSC) of the Transportation Association of Canada, is to rewrite TAC's Guide for the Design of Roadway Lighting. Originally published in 1983, this national guide provides a general outline of engineering practices, warrants, planning methods, design techniques and the design criteria for roadway lighting systems.
