Extract

B1, B2 lighting situation roads
Assessment criteria
Following the selection procedure set out in DIN 13201-1 and applying the decision criteria it requires (see page 6) ensures that the appropriate lighting requirements are met for the type of road and situation in question. Tables indicate the minimum lighting values required.

Mean roadway luminance is the lighting quantity used for assessment. Other variables that have an important bearing on road lighting quality are longitudinal and overall uniformity (see page 4) as well as adequate glare limitation.

In conflict areas or on bends or short sections of road, luminance cannot be assessed, so mean illuminance and illuminance uniformity are used as yardsticks instead. The decisive factor here is the lighting class of comparable lighting level according to DIN 13201-1.
