Roadway Lighting Layouts
For two lane roads, pedestrian-scale lighting may provide the required level of illumination for the street and sidewalk. However, if this does not produce the required results or if the roads are wider (4 or more lanes), pedestrian-scale lighting will typically have to be supplemented with taller overhead lighting poles.

The main purpose of the overhead lighting is get the luminaries on mast arms extended over the road beyond to tree canopies to light the street. The pedestrian-scale lighting will provide illumination for the sidewalk.
