AS/NZS 1158.1.2:2010 Lighting for roads and public spaces, Part 1.2: Vehicular traffic (Category V) lighting - Guide to design, installation, operation and maintenance
Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand
Supersedes: AS/NZS 1158.1.3:1997 Lighting for roads and public spaces, Part 1.2: Vehicular traffic (Category V) lighting - Guide to design, installation, operation and maintenance
Draft Designation: DR 08181This Standard was prepared by the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand Committee LG-002, Lighting for Roads and Public Spaces, to supersede AS/NZS 1158.1.3–1997 Road Lighting Part 1.3: Vehicular traffic (Category V) lighting–Guide to design, installation, operation and maintenance, now designated as Part 1.2.
This Standard is part of the AS/NZS 1158 series, Lighting for roads and public spaces, which covers lighting schemes for most roads and public spaces.
The performance criteria for such lighting schemes may include any or all of the following:
(a) Facilitation of safe movement.
(b) The discouragement of illegal acts.
(c) Contributing to the amenity of an area through increased aesthetic appeal.
The series has divided road lighting into the following two broad categories:
(i) Category V lighting Lighting that is applicable to roads on which the visual requirements of motorists are dominant, e.g. traffic routes.
(ii) Category P lighting Lighting that is applicable to roads on which the visual requirements of pedestrians are dominant, e.g. local roads and lighting that is applicable to outdoor public areas, other than roads, where the visual requirements of pedestrians are dominant, e.g. outdoor shopping precincts.
This Standard applies to Category V lighting.
Its objective is to provide guidance to those concerned with design, installation, operation and maintenance of such lighting, to facilitate compliance with the AS/NZS 1158.1.1.
This Standard sets out requirements, background information, guidelines and other relevant information for the design, installation, operation and maintenance of Category V lighting schemes intended to comply with AS/NZS 1158.1.1. Originated as AS/NZS 1158.1.3:1997. Revised and redesignated as AS/NZS 1158.1.2:2010.
