Van Ness BRT Lighting Criteria Lighting Performance Characteristics
Design Criteria • Roadway Classification MAJOR • Pedestrian Vehicle Conflict HIGH
IES RP-08 • Illuminance Recommend values min maintained average 1.7 fc • Average to Min Illuminance Ratio 3.0
Pole Spacing • SFPUC 80’-90’ horizontally • MTA pole height 30’ • Luminaire height Roadway fixture +30’ Pedestrian fixture 16’
Conclusion • Van Ness Corridor vehicular and pedestrian traffic volume, along with street width require higher lighting levels for safety compared to residential areas. • Current LED technology is suitable for roadways with less traffic and smaller widths. A LED design for Van Ness would require additional fixtures and/or closer pole spacing to provide required lighting levels. • Full cutoff fixtures will reduce the pole spacing requirements as well as induce shading in the pedestrian right of way. • Cutoff or Semi-Cutoff fixtures will reduce Sky Glow (light pollution) while maintaining suitable pole spacing, and comfortable levels of fill light.
