INTERNATIONAL AND GERMAN RECOMMENDATIONS ON ROAD LIGHTING

CIE PUBLICATION NO 12 CONSIDERS NEW INFORMATION ON THE QUALITIES OF UNIFORMITY AND GLARE RESTRICTION. IT IS THEREFORE MORE CURRENT THAN THE PROVISIONAL STANDARD DIN 5044. IN THE ASSIGNMENT OF INDIVIDUAL TYPES OF LIGHTING TO DIFFERENT TYPES OF ROAD IT IS MORE IN LINE WITH TRAFFIC REQUIREMENTS THAN DIN 5044. THE PLANNED REVISION OF DIN 5044 SHOULD TAKE ACCOUNT OF THE NEW CIE RECOMMENDATIONS, WITH CERTAIN REFINEMENTS AND MORE ACCURATE INFORMATION ON THE RELATION OF THE QUALITY FEATURES TO ROAD SAFETY - A SIGNIFICANT ADVANTAGE OVER THE CIE PUBLICATION.
