Signalised crossings with integrated special lighting of the approaches to the pedestrian crossing and the pedestrian path itself when the pedestrian green traffic signal is lit

As part of the program to ensure road safety in the city of Nur-Sultan, by order of the city Akimat, a program and project of the signalized crossings with integrated special lighting of the approaches to the pedestrian crossing and the pedestrian path itself when the pedestrian green traffic signal lit were developed.

The idea is not brand new and it is a proven technique in world practice to ensure pedestrian crossing safety, while it is very important to observe the quality of performance. The main task of this technology is to light up a pedestrian crossing to enable approaching drivers clearly see the pedestrians. Simple installing a luminaire directly above a pedestrian crossing is not a feasible solution. It is necessary to create a visible contrast between the pedestrian crossing and the road surface, which is provided by using the illumination contrast between normal road lighting and the pedestrian crossing through application of an asymmetric distribution of white light, providing a high illumination level of pedestrian from the driver's side from long distances.
