Abstract

This paper discusses the problem of assessing visibility in lighted streets and some inadequacies of existing lighting installations. Two investigations are reported: the first on the effect on brightness and "patchiness" of the spacing of lighting installations on roads of different widths. The second compares two cut-off and non-cut-off lighting installations in terms of visibility and glare.
