5.10 Lighting
Adequate lighting is important to pedestrians as it provides a sense of personal security, safety, and enables signs and instructions to be seen clearly. Many visually impaired pedestrians testify to the importance of good lighting conditions. When planning a pedestrian pathway as part of a TCP, consideration should be given to avoiding trees and other objects that would cast a shadow and obstruct the light output.
Temporary lighting should be considered for temporary covered pathways or in areas where the lack of additional lighting may present a safety concern. Balloon Lighting or a form of diffused lighting should be utilized.
