These guidelines have been developed based on the results of a series of experiments that considered more than 40 lighting configurations in both static and dynamic environments. The presence of maintenance personnel, the identification of the maintenance vehicle, attention-getting, glare, peripheral detection, and urgency were all metrics in the experiments. Differing experimental conditions such as weather, the presence of other vehicles, and time of day were also considered in the experiments.

The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.

The purpose of this research was to develop guidelines for IRWLs that the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) could use statewide to ensure uniformity. The guidelines include both "planning" and "design" guidelines. Planning guidelines focus on when and where IRWLs are needed or justified. Design guidelines focus on design features of IRWLs and their components. The scope of the research was limited to a review of existing guidelines and of experiences with existing IRWLs.

This guide replaces the 1984 publication entitled An Informational Guide for Roadway Lighting. It has been revised and brought up to date to reflect current practices in roadway lighting. The guide provides a general overview of lighting systems from the point of view of the transportation departments and recommends minimum levels of quality. The guide incorporates the illuminance and luminance design methods, but does not include the small target visibility (STV) method.
