- 5. LIGHTING FOR SAFETY Lighting Requirements for Bridges BS5489-1:2003, Section 8.2 Lighting for Bridges Where bridges carry the road system without significant change of gradient or direction it is likely that the lighting system on the bridge approaches can be continued across the bridge. **If there is no lighting on the adjacent roadway, there is normally no need for lighting on the bridge. An exception is a very long bridge, which may be lit even though the roadway is not lit at other locations. Wadi Laban Bridge, Riyadh Sheik Zayed Bridge, Abu Dhabi LIGHTING UP YOUR BRIDGES Engr.

- 6. LIGHTING FOR SAFETY Lighting Requirements for Bridges Objectives of Road Lighting Enhance Road Traffic Safety & ease of passage for all users Social Role, help in reducing crime and the fear of crime Commercial Role, being the gateway to town centers and tourist locations at night In general, road lighting should reveal all the features of the road and traffic that are important to the different types of road user, including pedestrians and police.

- 7. LIGHTING FOR SAFETY Lighting Requirements for Pedestrian Bridges 1. The journey of the pedestrian - sufficient light to enable pedestrians to see and identify the faces of other users of the bridge, a key aspect of lighting to ensure feelings of safety.

- 8. LIGHTING FOR SAFETY Lighting Requirements for Pedestrian Bridges 2. The views of the structures from the distance - where a footbridge is in a lit area or over a lit road, the illumination on the footbridge should be integrated with the surrounding area.

- 10. LIGHTING FOR AESTHETICS The Value of Aesthetics to define IDENTITY and add VALUE IDENTITY - Gives profile to towns and communities - Communicates a positive image & emphasizes a town's character - Promotes the retention of purchasing power and tourism - Act as a Physical Focal Point VALUE - Increases a community's competitiveness - Provides impulses for urban development - Improves the quality of a location for industry, commerce and service providers - Increases attractiveness, quality of life and security for residents and visitors LIGHTING UP YOUR BRIDGES Engr. Adolf Reyes, MIES, AILP
- 11. LIGHTING FOR AESTHETICS Frequent Objections to Considering Aesthetics 1. It automatically adds cost Value for Money - bridge aesthetics is often associated with increased design and construction costs and additional construction time. 2. People cant agree on what looks better (Subjective) - People have agreed for centuries on which paintings look better, which symphonies sound better and which buildings are more attractive.
