Lighting for pedestrian crossings
The EN 13201-2:2003 and the national guidelines
recommend additional local and specific lighting
of pedestrian crossings to guarantee an effective
contrast of the pedestrian on the street surface. As
drivers approaches the pedestrian crossing, they
must be able to distinguish a pedestrian clearly
without any glare. The lighting on the vertical plane
must be significantly greater than on the horizontal
plane. ERAL has designed a compliant, efficient and
high performance solution thanks to the use of LED
combined with specifically designed asymmetrical
optics. The lamp post heads with P.C. (pedestrian
crossing) optics system are the perfect solution for
lighting pedestrian crossings.
Safety, efficiency, comfort
One out of every four fatal car accidents in which
pedestrians are involved takes place on pedestrian
crossings. A recent study conducted in Europe showed
that one crossing out of five is not safely lit. Obviously,
better and compliant lighting could prevent many
accidents.
Linea Light, using technical know-how accumulated
over many years of experience, presents a range
of fixtures designed specifically for correct lighting
of pedestrian crossings thanks to the use of highly
efficient LEDs combined with special optics.
Performance, efficiency and visual comfort are the
main characteristics of our light fixtures.
The P.C. optics system directs the light toward the
centre of the pedestrian crossing (zone A) and toward
the area that surrounds the zebra stripes (zone B),
thereby guaranteeing maximum safety and facilitating
the view from a distance of the pedestrians on the
crossing and curbside.
