pavement surface.
a. For roads with raised kerbs Min. Min. 0.3 m and desirable 0.6 m
0.3 m and desirable 0.6 m from from the edge of raised kerb.
the edge of raised kerb.(as in
urban roads)
b. For roads without raised kerbs(as Min. 1.5 m from the edge of the
in rural roads) carriageway, subject to min. 5.0 m
from the centre line of the
carriageway.
6. Height and overhang of mounting
The glare on eyes from the mounted lights decreases with increases in the
height of mounting. Usually, mounting height range from 6 to 10m.
• Overhangs on the lighting poles would keep the poles away from the
pavement edges, but still allow the lamp to be held above the kerb or towards
the pavements.
7. Spacing of lighting units
The spacing between lamps on straight roads is about 3
to 5 times the mounting height.
For sharp curves, the spacing between lamps is closer
for better visibility conditions.
8. Lighting layouts
Various types of layouts adopted for lighting poles on streets or highways
are,
1. Single side lighting
2. Both side lighting-opposite
3. Both side lighting-staggered
4. Central lighting
