Many of the findings of the investigations described in the previous Chapters are seen reflected in standards and recommendations for road lighting. In this Chapter, first the recommendations of the international lighting commission, CIE, will be summarized. They concern lighting of motorized-traffic routes, lighting of traffic conflict areas, lighting for pedestrians and low-speed traffic, the spectrum of light, and lighting that adapts itself to different circumstances. The CIE recommendations form the basis for many national or regional standards for road lighting in many parts of the world. As an example of one of the latter, the European Standard for Road lighting produced by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) will be described. In North America the primary standard is produced by the Illuminating Society of North America, IESNA, and approved by the American National Standard Institute, ANSI. Where in the past this standard was, on some points, clearly different from the CIE approach, we see today that it is moving much in the same direction, as will be described in the last part of this Chapter.
