Abstract
This article discusses the basis of light levels
recommended for roads, in particular, that the
evidence upon wh
ich these are based has little
basis in visual tasks or cost
-
benefit analysis.
Eye
-
tracking studies have been carried out to
identify
the critical tasks, and performance
of
these tasks
has been interpreted to identify
threshold illuminances
:
these are a
step
towards
better evidence for design criteria.
