3 out of 4 U.S. pedestrian fatalities
occur after dark.
THE BOOK
U.S. pedestrian fatalities from motor vehicles hit a 40-year high in 2021, at over 7,400.
Pedestrian safety, personal security, and comfort are essential benefits of effective lighting. Special lighting features and artistic lighting can also improve the aesthetics and unique identity of neighborhoods, tourist zones, and other areas.
Lighting is often overlooked in policy considerations of pedestrian safety and walkability measures, in part because municipal responsibility for street lighting may be in a separate local agency with limited communication with other departments
​
Outdoor Lighting for Pedestrians: A Guide for Safety and Walkable Places, is the first book of its kind to provide a comprehensive, single reference on the most important information on outdoor lighting for transportation planners and engineers, safety researchers and advocates, and urban planners and designers, as well as lighting specialists.
"I loved Outdoor Lighting for Pedestrians. It's like the field guide for everything a transportation engineer or planner ought to know about street lighting. It's really useful." - Nick Mesler, PE, Solutions Engineer, Evari GIS Consulting Inc.
