This guide replaces the 1984 publication entitled An Informational Guide for Roadway Lighting. It has been revised and brought up to date to reflect current practices in roadway lighting. The guide provides a general overview of lighting systems from the point of view of the transportation departments and recommends minimum levels of quality. The guide incorporates the illuminance and luminance design methods, but does not include the small target visibility (STV) method.

The nighttime driving environment, consisting of roadway illumination, signs, vehicle lighting and markers, delineators and flashing lights, can be complex or even confusing for both pedestrians and drivers. The nighttime construction environment is even more complex and even chaotic because of the added presence of workers, construction equipment and bright lights (which are sometimes flashing). Work zones at night often involve changing conditions and new traffic patterns that are unfamiliar to drivers. Workers in highway construction areas and drivers navigating through these areas have distinct visual requirements that must be met both through lighting and other forms of visual information provided in the work zone. Conventional methods for illuminating work zones are prone to producing glare for workers and for drivers. At the same time, new technologies for lighting and traffic control, such as balloon lights, light emitting diodes (LEDs), highly reflective retroreflective sheeting and intelligent warning lights are being developed that could address many of the concerns associated with nighttime highway construction. As part of a multi-phase project, requirements for worker and driver visibility and visual information were identified through human factors research, and various technologies and new approaches to work zone lighting and traffic control were demonstrated and evaluated to provide preliminary guidance for when they might be of benefit. A checklist of planning and design issues, and a method for estimating visual performance under nighttime work zone lighting are provided to help transportation engineers and highway contractors identify promising solutions for work zone lighting.

One of the ways a state department of transportation or other transportation agency can address work zone safety and other impacts is to develop and implement a Transportation Management Plan (TMP). The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Research Report 945: Strategies for Work Zone Transportation Management Plans provides a practitioner-ready guidebook on how to select and implement strategies that improve safety and traffic operations in roadway construction work zones. Supplemental materials to the report include NCHRP Web-Only Document 276: Evaluating Strategies for Work ZoneTransportation Management Plans; fact sheets on ramp meter, reversible lane, and truck restrictions; and guidebook appendices.

Objective of conference is to define knowledge and technologies needed to design and develop project processes and to produce high-quality, competitive, environment- and consumer-friendly structures and constructed facilities. This goal is clearly related to the development and (re)-use of quality materials, to excellence in construction management and to reliable measurement and testing methods.
