Activities Aimed at Improving Road Traffic Safety at Night

Nighttime traffic risks have been thoroughly analyzed in the current work indicating the activities to be implemented to reduce the number of night accidents. It is shown that the normative standards for the brightness of street lighting in Armenia are rather low as compared to other countries. The types of luminaires providing the street lighting and their layout have to be assessed. Some measures have been presented to improve the driver’s field of vision, the defects of widely used luminaires and the consequent dangers have been clarified, as well as a safe road lighting scheme has been suggested.
