Abstract
A crosswalk lighting arrangement is provided. The arrangement includes a light source, securing hardware configured to secure the light source above a position between the center line of the crosswalk and a predetermined position in the direction of oncoming traffic and at a predetermined height above the crosswalk, and protective shielding configured to block and direct light energy from the light source to a predetermined range relative to the crosswalk forward border and the crosswalk rear border. The light source generates light energy at a minimum of 30 lux of vertical luminance.

A crosswalk lighting arrangement positioned relative to a crosswalk having a first border, a second border, and a center line, the crosswalk lighting arrangement comprising:
- a light source;
- securing hardware configured to secure the light source above a position between the center line of the crosswalk and a predetermined position in the direction of oncoming traffic and at a predetermined height above the crosswalk;
- and
- protective shielding provided with and extending downward from the light source that directs light energy from the light source to a predetermined range relative to the crosswalk first border and the crosswalk second border;
- wherein the light source generates light energy at a minimum of 30 Lux of vertical luminance.
A crosswalk lighting arrangement positioned above a crosswalk having a forward border, a rear border, and a center line, the crosswalk lighting arrangement comprising:
- a light source;
- securing hardware configured to secure the light source above a position between the center line of the crosswalk and a predetermined position in the direction of oncoming traffic and at a predetermined height above the crosswalk;
- and
- protective shielding configured to block and direct light energy from the light source to a predetermined range relative to the crosswalk forward border and the crosswalk rear border;
- wherein the light source generates light energy at a minimum of 30 lux of vertical luminance.
A crosswalk lighting arrangement positioned above a crosswalk having a forward border, a rear border, and a center line, the crosswalk lighting arrangement comprising:
- a light source positioned above a lane of traffic;
- securing hardware configured to secure the light source above a position between the center line of the crosswalk and a predetermined position in the lane of traffic and at a predetermined height above the crosswalk;
- and
- protective shielding configured to block and direct light energy from the light source to a predetermined range relative to the crosswalk forward border and the crosswalk rear border;
- wherein the light source generates light energy at a minimum of 30 lux of vertical luminance.
