Road lighting - Part 1: Selection of lighting classes
This document specifies the lighting classes set out in EN 13201-2 and gives guidelines on the application of these classes. To do this, it includes a system to define an outdoor public traffic area in terms of parameters relevant to lighting. To assist in the application of classes, it suggests a practical relationship between the various series of lighting classes, in terms of comparable or alternative classes.
It also gives guidelines on the selection of the relevant area to which the lighting classes from EN 13201-2 and the calculation grids and procedure from EN 13201-3 should be applied.
The parameters used in this document allow:
a) a lighting situation to be described in terms of:
- the geometry of the area under consideration;
- the use of the area;
- the influence of the surrounding environment;
b) a specific approach to situations to be taken to enable the effective use of energy.
This document does not give the criteria on which a decision to light an area can be made, nor on how a lighting installation should be used.
This document does not give guidelines on the selection of lighting classes for toll stations, tunnels or canals and locks.

1 Scope
This document specifies the lighting classes set out in EN 13201-2 and gives guidelines on the
application of these classes. To do this, it includes a system to define an outdoor public traffic area in
terms of parameters relevant to lighting. To assist in the application of classes, it suggests a practical
relationship between the various series of lighting classes, in terms of comparable or alternative
classes.
It also gives guidelines on the selection of the relevant area to which the lighting classes from
EN 13201-2 and the calculation grids and procedure from EN 13201-3 should be applied.
The parameters used in this document allow:
a) a lighting situation to be described in terms of:
the geometry of the area under consideration;
the use of the area;
the influence of the surrounding environment;
b) a specific approach to situations to be taken to enable the effective use of energy.
This document does not give the criteria on which a decision to light an area can be made, nor on
how a lighting installation should be used.
This document does not give guidelines on the selection of lighting classes for toll stations, tunnels or
canals and locks.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.
EN 13201-2:2003, Road lighting – Part 2: Performance requirements.
EN 13201-3:2003, Road lighting – Part 3: Calculation of performance.
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 13201-2:2003, EN 13201-
3:2003 and the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
user type
category of person or vehicle in an outdoor public traffic area
NOTE In this document, only user types as specified in this Clause are considered.
3.2
motorised traffic (M)
motor powered vehicles other than slow moving vehicles
5
---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------
CEN/TR 13201-1: 2004 (E)
3.3
slow moving vehicles (S)
motor powered vehicles, animal drawn vehicles and people on animals with speed limited to 40 km/h
NOTE In some countries this may be 50 km/h.
3.4
cyclists (C)
people on pedal cyclists and mopeds with speed limited to 50 km/h
NOTE In some countries this can be 40 km/h.
3.5
pedestrians (P)
people on foot or using wheelchairs
3.6
typical speed of main user
the assessed speed of the user defined as the main user type of the relevant area. Where the main
user type is a combination of motorised traffic and one or more of the other types, motorised traffic is
taken as the main user
NOTE For lighting purposes broad speed categories are sufficient. Speed is therefore assessed rather than
measured and the method of assessment is a matter for the road authorities.
3.7
relevant area
part of the public traffic area under consideration
3.8
conflict area
relevant area where motorised traffic streams intersect each other or overlap areas frequented by
other user types
3.9
interchange
a grade-separated junction with one or more turning roadways (ramps) for travel between the through
roads
3.10
intersection
the general area where two or more roads join or cross at the same level, within which are included
the roadway and roadside facilities for traffic movements
3.11
traffic flow of vehicles
the number of vehicles passing a given point in a stated time in both directions. This is measured as
average daily traffic (see 3.12)
NOTE Although not necessary for lighting, the road authority may use traffic flow per lane and compose the
figures together. In the case of a parking area, the given point is the entrance.
3.12
average daily traffic (ADT)
the total traffic during a given time period, in whole days, divided by the number of days in that time
period
6
---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------
CEN/TR 13201-1: 2004 (E)
3.13
difficulty of navigational task
the degree of effort necessary by the road user, as a result of the information presented, to select
route and lane, and to maintain or change speed and position on the carriageway
NOTE Visual guidance provided by the road is part of this information.
3.14
crime risk
crime risk in the considered traffic area compared to crime risk in the larger area
NOTE Ideally this should be objectively related to crime statistics, but experience indicates that a truly
objective approach is very difficult.
3.15
complexity of visual field
the amount of lighting and other visual elements existing in the visual field of the road user which
mislead, distract, disturb or annoy the road user
NOTE Although visual guidance provided by the road and environment can be adequate, such elements
can cause problems in detecting high priority objects such as traffic lights and other road users changing
direction. Examples can include advertisements, lighting columns, lighted buildings, sports lighting.
3.16
ambient brightness level
assessed luminance level of the surroundings
3.17
main weather type
the weather conditions which prevail for a significant proportion of the time
4 Outline of selection procedure
This document is arranged in such a way that a step by step selection procedure may be followed to
arrive at the appropriate lighting recommendations:
a) define the public traffic area in one or more relevant areas and select the set of lighting
situations (5.1);
b) go to the table indicated for the selected set (see Annex A);
c) define the relevant area in detail (see 5.2 and 5.3);
d) select the range of lighting classes;
e) select one lighting class from the range;
f) find the lighting performance requirements for the selected lighting class(es);
g) consider the general recommendations (see Clause 6).

5 Lighting situations
5.1 Groups of lighting situations
A lighting situation can be classified within a group in terms of the base parameters given in Table 1,
which identifies for each group the appropriate set of lighting situations.
A full description of each set of lighting situations by specific parameters is given in the Tables in Annex A.

5.2 Assessment of parameters
The lighting recommendations depend on the geometry of the relevant area and on traffic and time
dependant circumstances. It is for the road authority to describe these circumstances for the relevant
area, and thus evaluate the appropriate parameters.
A list of parameters with their possible options or values is given in Table 2.

5.3 Relevant areas
5.3.1 General
A public area normally consists of more than one traffic area. Often, along a route, there is a carriageway
with an adjacent footway or cycle path. When the relevant area is defined so that all parts of the route are
included, the lighting recommendations should apply to the whole relevant area, and the calculation
procedure and appropriate calculation grid from EN 13201-3 applied to the whole area.
When the road authority chooses to consider different traffic areas separately, each area should be
defined separately, and the calculation procedure applied separately.
Conflict areas can occur within areas where motorised traffic is the main user. The boundaries of the
conflict area should be defined in order to apply the recommended lighting class.
Geometric measures for traffic calming can occur within all areas where motorised traffic and cyclists are
users. The boundaries of this relevant area of traffic calming measures should be defined in order to
apply the recommended lighting class.
Detailed guidance, on the definition of the relevant area, the traffic area within the relevant area, and on
the definition of the adjacent strip to determine surround ratio, is given below.
5.3.2 Relevant area for lighting situation sets A1, A2, A3
If there are no adjacent emergency lanes, footways, or cyclepaths, the area is the total width of
carriageway between the outer edges of the carriageway (kerbs).
For dual carriageways, the area is the total width of both carriageways including the central reservation
unless the width of the reserve is such that the carriageways can be considered separately.
If there are adjacent emergency lanes, there are two alternatives:
a) Consider the total area.
The area is the total width of carriageway including emergency lanes between the outer edges of
the emergency lanes;
b) Consider separately the carriageway and emergency lanes:
The area for the carriageway is the total width of the running lanes only.
The area for the emergency lane is the width of the emergency lane only.
If there are adjacent footways or cyclepaths, there are two alternatives:
a) Consider the area for the carriageway only.
The area for the carriageway is the width of the carriageway between kerbs.
b) Consider separately the carriageway and footway or cyclepath:
The area of the carriageway is the total width of the carriageway between kerbs.
The area for the footway or cyclepath is as in 5.3.4.
The width of the adjacent strip for surround ratio if used, when the ME lighting classes from
EN 13201-2:2003, Table 1a and Table 1b are chosen and there are no adjacent traffic areas is taken as
being equal to the width of the first lane of the carriageway.

CEN/TR 13201-1: 2004 (E)
5.3.3 Relevant area for lighting situation sets B1, B2
If there are no adjacent footways or cyclepaths, the area is the total area of carriageway between kerbs.
The width of the adjacent strip for surround ratio, if used when the ME lighting classes are chosen and
there are no adjacent traffic areas, is taken as being equal to the width of the first lane of the carriageway.
If there are adjacent footways or cyclepaths, consider separately the carriageway and footway or
cyclepath.
The area for the carriageway is the total width of carriageway between kerbs;
The area for the footway or cyclepath, which may include the verge, is given in 5.3.4.
