Specifies requirements for a system of floodlighting pedestrian (zebra) crossings with the object of providing advance warning to motorists and of enhancing the visibility of pedestrians. It assumes the existence of and is supplementary to road lighting complying with at least Category A 3 in AS 1158.1.

This Standard specifies performance requirements for the floodlighting of pedestrian (zebra) crossings as defined in Clause 1.3.1. The requirements may also be applied to other forms of pedestrian crossings, e.g. signalised crossings, where the lighting of such crossings is specifically desired. The requirements of this Standard are based on the existence of road lighting in the vicinity of the crossing to at least Category A3 in AS 1158.1 (see Clause 2.2 herein).The requirements generally assume that the pedestrian crossing is located on a road with two-way traffic; however, unless otherwise stated, they also apply to pedestrian crossings on one-way roads. For roads with two-way traffic the requirements for each half of the crossing (from kerb to the road centre) are considered separately according to the direction of traffic flow. For one-way roads the requirements apply from kerb to kerb in the particular direction of traffic flow.NOTE: Appendix A provides guidance on the design and installation of floodlighting systems to satisfy the requirements of this Standard.
