Part 3 – Road Works

3.14    Road Lighting

3.14.1    General Requirements

The lighting design shall maximise safety and efficiency while minimising the life cycle cost and impact on the environment.

It is important to design the lighting to blend in with adjacent road lighting, complement the neighbourhood character and – as far as is reasonably practicable – minimise the impact on the neighbouring properties and environment with regard to aesthetics, glare and spill light. 

For rural intersections where the total volume on all legs has an AADT > 500, intersection flag lighting shall be used.

In rural areas where design speeds are greater than 70 km/h or in areas where there is an obvious hazard slip-base frangible approved lighting columns shall be used.
