This Standard specifies performance requirements for the lighting of pedestrian crossings.

The requirements generally assume that the pedestrian crossing is located on a road with two-way traffic; however, unless otherwise stated, they also apply to pedestrian crossings on one-way roads. For roads with two-way traffic the requirements for each half of the crossing (from kerb to the carriageway centre) are considered separately according to the direction of traffic flow. For one-way roads the requirements apply from kerb to kerb in the particular direction of traffic flow.
