City street

Safety for both the motorist and the pedestrian is the top objective behind roadway lighting fixtures. The functional requirements for seeing well and being well-seen are maximum lamp output, minimal glare and optimal light distribution. Lighting must also not interfere with traffic-control devices, and must take into consideration the elevation of the areas to be lit.
