What kind of lighting will be used at key places such as roundabouts and on the bridges to prevent uncessary light spill?
Lighting design for the project has been considered for both safety and environmental considerations. The project will be designed with lighting fixtures that prevent light from street lighting and traffic from spilling upwards and / or beyond the required area to be lit and into adjacent residences or sensitive environmental areas. Street lighting will be shielded to avoid such spill and incorporate Aeroscreen luminaries in accordance with Australian Standard requirements. Lighting has been carefully considered for these bridges with pedestrian access. The style adopted is soft, low impact lighting that will be located in hand rails and at the base of the footpath to make it less intrusive. For road safety reasons roundabouts will also be lit, but again there has been consideration of the need to reduce light spillage and directional lighting systems will be utilised.
