Course Description
The general purpose of roadway lighting is to provide improved visibility for the various users of the roadways and associated facilities. Roadway lighting design is a key component in many roadway design projects. It is important for designers in all areas of roadway design to understand the basics of roadway lighting design.
What Do Participants Learn?
- To supplement vehicle headlights, extending the visibility range beyond their limits both laterally and longitudinally.
- To improve the visibility of roadway features and objects on or near the roadway.
- To delineate the roadway ahead and improve visibility of the surroundings.
- To reduce the apprehension of those using the roadway
Who Should Attend?
This course should assist engineers in the planning and design of roadway lighting plans.
