In regard to lighting, are wall-mounted fixtures considered better than pole-mounted fixtures?
On the building exterior, wall mounted fixtures with vandal-resistant lens covers work better. Lamp poles close to the building wall are not desirable as they may provide a means to access the roof or upper windows. Lamp poles are more suitable for parking areas, play areas and driveways. Light fixtures, whether wall-mounted or pole-mounted, should be designed and spaced to provide uniform lighting at all times.
