We review and discuss design methods and research aimed at improving safety for the road users via lighting design. We also review the balance between the safety benefits of lighting and the impacts lighting has on the nighttime environment. Other topics of discussion include CCT along with upcoming changes in IES RP-8 along with new and developing research for sidewalks, crosswalks, and bike lanes. Will also include a discussion on adaptive lighting controls for roadways.
