CIE 135 – Lighting of Roads for Motor and Pedestrian Traffic

This report is a revision and update of CIE 115-1995 “Recommendations for theLighting of Roads for Motor and Pedestrian Traffic”. Since it was issued in 1995power consumption and environmental aspects have become more important and atthe same time, the improved performance of luminaires and lamps, and especiallythe introduction of electronic control gear, has made it possible to introduce adaptivelighting for roads for motorised traffic, conflict areas and areas for pedestrians. Astructured model has been developed for the selection of the appropriate lightingclasses (M, C, or P), based on the luminance or illuminance concept, taking intoaccount the different parameters relevant for the given visual tasks. Applying forexample time dependent variables like traffic volume or weather conditions, themodel offers the possibility to use adaptive lighting systems.

The publication replaces CIE 115-1995 “Recommendations for the Lighting of Roadsfor Motor and Pedestrian Traffic”.
