SOLUTIONS FOR SAFE PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS Effective lighting for pedestrian crossings needs to do three things. Firstly, ensure the crossing is highly visible and distinguishable from the surrounding area. Next, it needs to give drivers clear visibility of pedestrians approaching and using the crossing. And finally, lighting should minimise glare for drivers. Schréder has a long history of developing specific optics to light pedestrian crossings to ensure safety for both motorists and pedestrians and help them share the public space in a safer manner. It comes down to providing a lighting solution that has a high vertical illuminance on pedestrians, so they are clearly visible from the driver’s position, and horizontal illuminance on the pedestrian crossing for people crossing the road. Our smart lighting solutions for cycle paths and pedestrian areas deliver the right light only when and where it is needed, improving safety and comfort while limiting disturbance to wildlife and nearby residents.
