Adequate, well-positioned, quality lighting can significantly improve an urban nighttime experience.
When designing lighting for bike lanes:
- Ensure that routes and crossings are adequately lit
- Add more lighting in areas with a higher volume of cyclists and at major intersections
- Install lighting on both sides of major roadways
- Use uniform light intensity between posts along the same road
