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.
